Default Audi A6 problem! P3081 code

My 2004 Audi A6 car won't start sometimes. After driving all in town for awhile then shut it off then start again after short time period it won't start. It's trying to start but it's not and we hold the gas sometimes while starting or keep pressing the gas and still won't start. And when it finally starts car stinks like gas. One of the guy was looking the code and found P3081 anyone know that code and has this problem. Hope it's an easy inexpensive fix. Pls help. I wanted this fix. Thinking of selling it after maybe. Thanks!

Good morning,

From your post, I thought you might not have had time to Google the code yet. A quick search suggests that is it P3081[/b] - Engine temperature too low.

Some of the common suggestions are a failed thermostat or missing thermostat. It did not appear you had work done on the car recently, most likely your thermostat needs to be replaced.

Can u just fix it? Or u have to go to a local car repair? Is it an easy fix? Just don't want to spend more money I already been spending way too much for this car. I need trade

I don't know enough about you or which motor is in the car. I am new to Audi's.

Best answer is likely.. If you are asking, its best that you bring it to a qualified shop.
