Our mechanic, who we trust and who works on higher end cars (he's got an
older Rolls in his garage now!) than we'll ever own, said it was a bad
cell in the battery, like some people here said (you?). What I don't get
is that it was fine for the two weeks after the initial problem, then it
went bad again, and we could not jump it. Plus, how does a battery go
for 18 months with no problems and then all of the sudden develop a bad
cell? I can't help wondering what electrical gremlin made this happen.
Good news is that the mechanic managed to squeeze an A8 battery into our
A6 for a little more oomph and almost no extra money.

Everything is great for now....even found out that the brake pads are
only half gone after 55000 miles. Next, the timing belt....
