That reminds me of a FL 8 I had as a company car, if I ran it from cold for say a couple of hundred yards then stopped it a non re-start would result. Leave it for a couple of hours and it would fire up after extended cranking. Take the very same car from cold and do twenty miles or so no problems, it would re-start instantly. I moaned at Audi who replaced the battery and that cured the problem, mind you within a month or so the alternator packed up, so perhaps that was also playing up.
One trick that the RAC expert did to get me going was to disconnect the battery for about half an hour, the car then fired up normally when the battery was re-connected. That car was nicknamed 'the gremlin' it suffered more electrical problems than any Audi I've ever owned or driven.
