Default Start/stop problem still exist?

There used to be posts of a problem when folks pulled car out of garage, washed it, pulled back in. The very short runs caused a problem when starting the next time. Does this problem still exist?

Default I have tandem parking at work, and frequently have to move my car to let the other car out.

They're always short, no more than a couple of minutes. I don't like doing it, and sometimes purposely idle for a short spell before I shut off. But never had a problem with restarting.

Default No, The drive by wire I believe is what fixed this problem.

If you have to do the above then drive the audi around the block and burn some fuel.<p>Nick N.
