anyone have an idea on the following?
If the car is hot it is always difficult to start. If it's stone cold (ie left overnight) then it starts on the button.
Would it be the temperature sender unit? If so where is it located so i can replace it?
Many thanks

Did you get this fixed? A friend of mine has a 4.2 A8 with the same problem.

not yet-it's going into the dealers next week as they were booked up ages in advance hence the post.
Will let you know the outcome unless anyone has any suggestions in the meantime?

Andy, did your friend get to the bottom of it? There are no fault codes stored so the dealer is at a loss as to what the problem is.
Help? It's becoming a right pain!
