Have you tried both keys? Sounds like it could be the immobiliser.

Daft as this may sound, have you tried disconnecting the negative on the battery for 30 secs then reconnect and try turning it over. this used to solve the immobiliser issue on my A3 till i got the chip in the clocks renewed. used to be o.k. for a few weeks then just wouldnt start do the above and first turn good as new. started doing it more frequent in the end so bit the bullit and had it sorted.
