Hi A2ers,
I hope all is well with you.
My very reliable and trusted, Audi A2 is starting to make me nervous...
I made a few trips today only about 60 miles with many stop offs and as usual in London lots of traffic. I then made a few brief stops (15 mins) and the car would not start again. I turned the key and there was no power in the accelerator, the revs indicator was not moving, I could just hear the starter motor turning over. A few times there was a chugging sound, juddering and shaking and then nothing.
I prayed waited and prayed some more, then eventually it would start up again. Done this 4 times during journey. Once there was a juddering run on upon starting the car had momentum and then nothing, no power ground to a halt.. Just near a traffic light...
Prayed, waited..... prayed, waited......generous offers of help, waited some more and then bingo started again.
This only happened once a few years ago. Scared to drive it now.
I have had it over 8 years on the same battery could that be the problem?
Taking it to the mechanic very soon, just wondered if you had any ideas.
P.S Sod's law I opened my big mouth to tell a person who was admiring my car "it has never let me down" grrrrrrr
P.P.S Prayer works
