Hello everyone,

Hope you light the light..

I got my Audi A3 in April 2022, the guy before was driving 80miles/day 4-5x/week.

Since I bought it it was ok. I don't drive long miles, locally, short trips around.

And one day it didn't start. The guy helped me with battery boost starter. Which took few times to start the car, after 5 -6 times the car started.

Then it was ok for a few days. It easy starts with jump leads, but with battery boost leads takes few min, few times to crank the car.

* When it's not starting the engine cranking, but no start. Jump leads, no problem.

* I found bad cigarette lighter fuse. Changed it. The next 2 weeks or so it was perfect, no issues with starting.

* Couple weeks ago it was messing again. Had to use battery boost couple of times, but then it couldn't help, the booster loosed it power, low battery. Engine keep cranking, but no starting. Next door neighbor helped me with jump leads, straight forward engine starts.

* Since then the car starts from first time, no issues. .. so far...

I went to garage to inspect, they say cannot help when there is no problem, the car works fine..

* No noisy starter motor

* Oh yes! I hear noise sometimes in the dash, like cables shortening.

* Have to change number plate light, i dont think it could cause anything.. or might://

I guess that's it...

Thank you
