Why does my Audi A3 have trouble starting in the cold weather?

I've noticed that with colder temperatures, my Audi A3 takes longer to start up. This is a new issue and it runs fine once it's started. Is there an underlying problem I should be aware of?

It's common for cars to experience starting issues in extreme cold weather. One potential solution is to use a block heater to warm up the engine before starting it.

Your car's battery may be the culprit. As batteries age, they lose their ability to hold charge in colder temperatures. A new battery could solve your starting issues.
