Take it back in to where you got that servicing and tell them that you are
having trouble starting the engine!
I don't think your A6 liked the rollers. I think that rollers are not
used
anymore in Illinois and anything earlier than 1996 is not tested nowadays
AFAIK.
There might have been a DTC set with the traction control that will need
to
be cleared. Allowing two wheels to move with the other two not moving and
stepping on the brakes or accelerator pedal might have caused a fault.
Now
it might be in "limp" mode.
Not sure of your engine needing a jumpstart unless maybe the battery is
malfunctioning due to age. Might just be a coincidence. 8^o
BTW I personally like Delcos in the Audis/VWs and have heard about the
Autobahn batteries not lasting that long.
JMHO
