Thanks, TJ:

I have not tried injector cleaner yet, so I cant tell if it will work!

But I had a chat the other day with one of buddy who used to drive a
VW Passat(suppose VW and Audi is the same maker), he had the same
problem with starting, he said he had to change 2 fuel pumps to fix
the problem. He also mentioned that change a pump is easy, its located
in the trunk, just lift the floor mat you can c it. but I havent check
it yet since I was on a trip just came back to town, will do tomorrow
and let you know
