Finally FIXED!

Alrite guys, my car is finally fixed and on the road!
The Car needed a new starter.
I spent $300 US on parts plus 50CDN bucks in taxes
I will get 90 US dollars back for core which costs me $20 dollars to mail,
so total for parts, 350-90+20=280
Parts: $280
Labour from Audi: $275 dollars for 3 1/2 hours. Diag, Change starter, charge battery, test battery.

The Audi mechanic also told me that perhaps my battery is problematic or my alternator as the battery has lost charge since it was charged. I was told that if I use it regularily it'll be fine, but long periods of parking might cause problems. So I sitll have this problem to fix.

The car starts better then ever! But i wonder if i should change my battery now?
