I'm almost positive I had a recent hard start issue due to intercooler icing/water in the charge piping. Anyone else run into this with their a3? Symptoms were a cold start and then immediate stall. Dead battery symptoms until it finally turned over and then ran real rough for 5 seconds or so. Then smoothed out completely. Pretty much ticked all the symptom boxes for intercooler icing. Had a cold snap here in Maryland a few weeks ago and then a warm up. Guess I had some ice formation and then it melted, the engine took a nice big gulp of it.
