I remember having issues with an A4 back in the late 90s... when they weren't epoxied in place. Had washed the car at the weekend and dropped my key on the wet tarmac drive. The key literally fell apart. I picked up the 'three' pieces, two plastic sides and button battery and put it back together again.

Monday morning came and wife drove car to her work using her key. She went into work and I set about driving to mine, except the car kept dying out after starting. Tried it about a dozen times and then phoned Audi, as the car had got this far. He suggested the key might be faulty and to try another one. Got wife's key and got to work. Called into Audi later on to check key and have it coded again, only to find that the transponder was missing from inside!
