This is another example that shows these guys have no clue what they are doing.

During the MMI update the 5F module failed. I am out of warranty but insisted that Audi should pick up the cost for replacing the module as it was working fine when I brought it in and since it failed during an update there must be some kind of design issue, this type of failure has happen before, that caused this failure. In any event the unit was replaced and Audi and the dealer shared in the cost. So these things happen. Hopefully in your case the engine starting problem is the result of a failed ECU and nothing to do with the recall work.
