Cranks but won't start

We have a 2006 Audi a3, we put replaced both axles over the weekend. Drove the car all day Sunday only thing I noticed different was the car was making a humming sound like a exhaust leek (there is not one). On Sunday evening we did get stuck in traffic for hour to hour an half. Engine light was flashing when move it would go off. When we tried starting it Monday morning it would crank but not start. Any Idea of what it could be. Its not reading any codes, come up blank.

2006 Audi A3, Well put new sparks plugs, coils packs, and crankshaft sensor on still no start. Get a code reading P0100, and P0343. So put a camshaft sensor on. NO Start. Its not the battery.

100 is the MAF sensor. 343 is the cam sensor. It need s to put on a scanner. I read numbers. Maf could be it, not likely. most likely you need a timing set.

It could be the switch. But first pull the DRL (day time running lights) relay or fuse from the fuse panel. Check the lights again. If it still does it, replace the switch. If it works right, then you need to have the BCM (body control module) scanned to see what's wrong.

AUDI A3 intake flag motor

I had the exact same problem. The check engine light would come on then go off. I didn't notice any drivabiltiy issues. End the end I had to replace the flapper motor, the high pressure fuel pump and the camshaft. They showed me the old parts and sure enough the camshaft lobe was worn down and the cam follower that actuates the fuel pump was in pieces. Needless to say it was very expensive. It's been a problem posted on many Audi sites. I went ahead and had the timing belt changed. Now she's as good as new.
