Discussion
Anyone got any clue what the hell is going on here?

In a nutshell, put the key in and ignition comes on fine, then crank it round into start position and nothing happens (no starter motor, no clicking nothing), keep it there for ages and ages and eventually the starter fires up and starts the engine no problems.
The engine is fine, so is the battery, the actual starter motor itself also seems fine but doesn't seem to be getting the signal to actually turn over.
The technician at Audi said it wasn't an imobiliser/transponder/key problem as it would fire and then cut out which doesn't happen.
It's into Audi tomorrow under warrnaty but they have tried to solve this before and failed?
Anyone got any ideas or could anyone ask on RS246.com for me as for some reason it won't let me sign-up.

king piece of s
Just got it back with a new starter motor, Audiguys b=never admitted there was a problem but changed it straight away so methinks they know something they didn't let on.
Anyway, new starter has shown that the old one was certainly getting lazy as it turns the engine alot faster.
Next job: LPG conversion.
