OEM Audi Ignition System Parts

You count on your Audi to start every time you get into the driver's seat. The factory ignition is key to that happening. For you, it's not complicated. You insert your key into the ignition switch and turn it. Modern Audi cars and SUVs often feature a start button instead. It's a simple matter to push that. Under the hood, it's a whole different story.

How Ignition Works

Once you either turn that key or push that button, the battery, starter solenoid, and ignition coil team up to direct and electric charge to the spark plugs. Those plugs, which sit in the engine cylinder head, capture the charge and use it to kindle the mixture of air and fuel inside the engine's combustion chamber. That leads to the starter cranking, engine pistons pumping, and the engine coming to life.

How to Detect Ignition Trouble

Ignition parts can fail, though. If you notice any of the signs below, connect a code reader to your Audi and see what it tells you.

• You have problems starting your vehicle
• The starter motor doesn't engage
• The dashboard lights start flickering
• You suddenly can't turn your ignition key
