My A6 has intermittent starting problems.
When you turn the key on, all the dash lights come on, but part of the time I will have the turn the key on and off. as many as 30 times to get the starter to engage.
I replaced the electrical part of the ignition switch, but I still have the problem.

My references don't have the exact location you need to look for it-it resembles the pic I gave earlier-also I suggest a repair manual/DVOM on hand if you gonna deal with this problem yourself
