Re: A6 Intermittent Starting Problem
Thanks for your replies! My A6 is a 1998, and there are no fault codes
being logged. I've just heard back from the A6 owner who had a similar
starting problem that turned out to be the immobiliser, and his car
didn't log any fault codes nor did the dashboard immobiliser light stay
illuminated. So immobiliser is still in the frame - or the relay
(thanks Tony).
BBO, if the fuel pump is the culprit, is it plausible that there would
only be a problem at startup? I'd have thought that the car might
suffer from other problems - poor running perhaps?
Cheers - Graham

The fuel pump is either working or not, albeit I have had my fuel pump
work intermittely until it finally bought it. This showed itself as poor
performance and stalling.
From what you're telling of the experience the other A6 owner had I'd
have the shop check the immobiliser before they start ripping out the
fuel pump.
