I have a 97 A4 1.8T at -30C it takes a long time and multiple tries to start it, thought it was a frozen fuel line, 2 tanks and gas line antifreeze at very tankful, I still have the same problem. At about -10 C no problems. I'm puzzled, does anyone have a clue.

Thanks in advance

-30C Is to dam cold ...why live there????

Slow to turn over? Turns over fine but doesn't catch?
Could be plug related.

No earthquakes, no tornadoes, healthcare, nice to see 4 seasons, lots of well paying jobs, reasonable real estate cost, need I say more ?

Cranks fine, lots of current, it just needs to be cranked constantly at 20-30 second intervals. Once started it runs perfect.

close to 5 secs on a stone cold start...doesn't sound quite like whats goin on with your car tho

It has been -25C to -30C for a good week now. But haven't experienced your starting problems though.

Good luck,

throw an old blanket over the front of the car. try to tuck the nose of the car under a deck or something else to trap the heat. You'd be surprised how much that helps.
