The strange thing is that it only does it on the first start in the morning. I turn the ignition key and have power to everything but the starter won't do anything, sometimes it takes a few seconds for the starter to kick in and sometimes it takes as much as 20 or 30 minutes. After the first start of the day it works fine the rest of the day.
Poor connection somewhere, bad cable, or just lazy starter which eventually go bad.

SOURCE: Engine don't start and have a clicking sound
you should check and see the batttery smart visor indicator (if applicable - see owners manual)
this may be that the battery has been drained and does not have enough power to rotate the starter. lights, dashboard, instruments light up ok as the voltage is there but the power (amperage) is low. please refer to owners manual on how to recharge your battery. bare in mind that removing the baterry from the care will reset systems (audio, alarm) and you wil need to recode them by using the codes provided with the car.

I had the brake light switch replaced by a local dealer. Cost was $140 and it fixed the problem. Have driven the car for two weeks since and no lights and all systems normal.

It can be your CO2 sensor. And another one that all ways makes the check engine light come on is your gas cap be for you turn your car on make sure your gas cap is on like 3 clicks then go clear the codes. If that doesn't help then good luck
SOURCE: audi 100cs does not crank and does not start
If you have acess to a mutimeter check the batery voltage. Should be around 12.5 volts. also check batery voltage when trying to crank engine. Should drop to 9volts while cranking. If it dose but engine dose not turn over you know power is still going to the starter motor but its just not turning. This could be a bad conection in the starter some where.if voltage dose not drop you know power is not reaching the starter motor. this could be a bad earth to the starter from the baterty somewhere. But also listen for clunking or clicking noices while cranking which would surgest the starter is trying to turn. try this before doing any other diagnostics.hope this helps

I have the same problem. Short term answer for me is to disconnect battery for 30 seconds and then the car will start. I have the infamous dashpod problem and the keys and eveything are coded into the dashpod so I'm hoping when I get mne replaced the immobilser problem will go to,at least the guys who work on my car reckon so.
With the regular need to disconnect he battery I leave the three screws for the battery cover finger tight and the battery contact loose enough to wriggle off. I can do it start to finish in a couple of minutes but is a mjor pain still.
