Default E10 95 grade petrol in france

my local garage here in france has stopped selling 98 octane petrol , and now has a choice of 95 octane or 95E10 [ 10% alcohol ]

did a bit of googling about audi engines , and with a couple of exceptions anything since 1985 should run correctly on this

so tried some in my 5cyl 20v , ran ok but after a few days not used it was almost impossible to start ; once warmed up seemed ok , left a few more days ...same problem ...ran battery flat , had to recharge before it finally got going

question is , what about my 3.7 A8 ...has anyone tried this particular fuel ?
it is about 10% cheaper than pure petrol here
