This is common issue which Audi altered quite a few things over time to 
"prevent".  It could be a combination of a faulty fuel check valve 
(letting pressure drop) and heat soak at the head, vaporizing fuel in 
the injector lines.  Can result in long cranking, or even no-start until

things cool a little.
[[VB]] That's possible. The 200 10v had the after run fan to cool things
off.

Heat buildup has also, IIRC, been implicated in intermittent Hall 
senders on the dizzy.

Might be a completely different issue.
[[VB]] Agreed.

O2 sensor not used while starting.  Easy to test when warm running, 
though - voltage should cycle up and down between about .3 and .7 volts 
DC every few seconds.
[[VB]] I'll check that as I can see this will be a PITA to get out and
change.

The DPR is the little grey box on the front of the fuel distributor with

an electrical connection.  Two bolts hold it on; there are two small 
o-rings to make sure you don't lose (or have new on hand).
[[VB]] ah! Yes, I had not removed that yet...

Have you made sure *all* the electrical connections (especially CIS ones

of course) under the hood are clean?
[[VB]] I'm cleaning as I go...
