When was the last...
Time your 4.2L has a full tune-up?
If the fuel is like the crud here (USA,)
It might not be a bad idea to add your favorite fuel system cleaner and add some octane booster (TK77.) You (most likely) have no idea how the PO drove the car.. putt, putt and all, isn't positive.. pc

It was the idle switch. Now the car is starting properly.
Regarding Fuel Cleaner, I was thinking about it as fuel quality is not exceptional here... Will check that after I finish the car (central lock, brake pads)
Also, it is difficult to find a correct fuel cleaner brand here. WOuld love to find the Audi one... :/
