    On the 200, and I think the 100 is the same, there is
    a large cable that goes from the battery (under the rear
    seat) to the starter.  In true Audi fashion, this cable
    has a splice, found under the passenger side carpet. Yeah , i saw it on my partout cars.
    That splice corrodes, so you don't get full battery ;Haaaa thanks, i ll look at it. I have couple cables and none of them are corroded.
    power to the starter.

    Check the voltage at the battery, and also from the
    engine compartment remote start post to ground. If
    they are not close (0.2V?), that might be part of
    your problem. Yes i ll check the voltage to the starter. I have another starter in stock. Anyway i should change it cause sometime it does not do anything...

    For more, search the archives for "battery cable splice".
