Audi A4 Engine Problems and Smoke Issues - Need Detailed Insights

Ignition cannot be switched on

|

Longer cold start time

|

Unsteady engine

Hello everyone, I own a 2019 Audi A4 with 80,760 km on it, and I've been experiencing several issues lately. The engine feels unsteady, it takes longer to start when cold, and sometimes I can't switch the ignition on at all. Additionally, I've noticed some weird smoke coming from the car. Could these issues be related, and what might be causing the smoke? I'm also interested in knowing what other common issues might occur with an Audi A4 of this model and mileage. Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Start by checking the battery and its connections, as a weak or failing battery can cause starting issues and affect the ignition. Ensure the terminals are clean and secure. For the smoke, inspect the engine oil level and look for any leaks, as burning oil can produce smoke. If the problem persists, it might be wise to have a mechanic inspect it, especially since smoke can indicate a more serious issue. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
