Default Anyone experiencing trouble at startup?

Over the past week or so I have noticed that I have to hold the key in "start" position for an unusually long amount of time (around 5 or 6 seconds) before it fires. Any ideas?

Default Common problem with certain A4s

If you had an early 2006 (or 2005.5) model, fuel pump may need replacing.

Default Purchased in Feb - 2006 2.0T with 5K miles

I am approaking 5K miles and plan on bringing it in soon, so I'll bring it up. Thanks for the quick response Tanner!

Default Mine starts fine, but once you get going its jerky.

It smooths out in a mile or two but usually starts off bad. Embarassing when other people are in the car. <10k miles...and it's done it since week 1.

And have you taken it to the dealer to get it looked at?

I have pretty much same car without the tech.

Have noticed same thing past couple weeks.

Sporadic though. Likewise, 5 k coming up.

When it does start, it runs fine.

Absolutely! I could use the new fuel pump as well.

Default Had 5K Service yesterday...

My service guy said they reset the comp which should take care of the problem. The word is that the fuel pump is not the cause - it's been two days and I haven't experienced the problem yet. I will keep you all posted though...
