Default Engine won't start...3.0 TDI

I just got my Q7 towed home...sending it to Audi on monday

Tonight...I went for a dinner...and after dinner when I was ready to go home, my Q7 doesn't want to start.

Battery seems to be fine
Starter runs fine.
No fault code
But engine doesn't start

any experience...

Do you see any light flashing in the dash?
can you try a different key?, we seen couple new cars having immobilizer communication problems.
check faults in the cluster and immobilizer unit.

My problem seems to be something like this : http://audiforum.us/threads/cold-sta...-3-0tdi.13960/

sometimes can see ESP and ABS light flashing for about o.5 sec. after cranking for 5-8 sec.

Default try again

I decide to give it a try for longer craking time...for about 10 sec....finally engine started, but about 1 min, it turned off...
Then again, started normally in about 2 sec...but off in about 3 sec...after trying a couple of times...glow plug light is flashing now.
