B7 Cold start problem strikes again....
its the 2nd time this winter that I have been unable to start my car. Thank god for roadside who made it to my house in 20 minutes and took care of it.
The funny thing is, this took place on the eve of my service appointment. I guess I'll have them look at the battery when I get there.

While you are hooking up your jumper cables, the fuel pump is energizing (from the door being opened) and building up fuel pressure, so that by the time you try to start the car, there is enough pressure in the system.

have them look at it next week when I go. Hopefully there's a fix available because I would hate for this to happen when I need my car for an emergency or something. thanks for the feedback.
