Default 2004 AUDI A4 1.8T SEDAN CRANKS BUT WONT START.

Hi guys I'm new and this is my first post. To give you a little background to the car, I just purchased it from an auction. Didn't know if it ran or not but for $225 with a clean body and interior cant beat that. So I get it home tried to start it and it cranked very slowly then stopped. So I suspect the battey so I replace it. Cranks a little better then I see a little smoke coming from he front between the pulleys and radiator. Had a metallic smell. I checked the plugs all good, sprayed some starter fluid, put he plugs back and it cranked a lot better but that's all it did. Checked for fuel getting to the motor and that's good. Not sure what else to check. I had my guy run a diagnostic on it and I have a bunch of codes which I have pics. If you want me to upload them I will. Appreciate the help fellas

Hi Talon

Sounds like a good deal if you can get her running!

Note you are in the B7 group and the 2K4 model was the B6. Only slight differences, but the B7 did not have the 1.8T (in the US) so you may get some more help on the B6 group.

Cheers
