Audi A3 parking brake problem - what to do?
(Translated from Finnish)
Summary of the thread
The main issue is that a 2000 Audi A3 starts briefly and then shuts off, potentially due to an immobilizer problem. Possible causes include a malfunctioning immobilizer system or a faulty key. Suggested solutions include checking if the immobilizer light flashes when the car shuts off, trying a different key, or inspecting the current key for damage or low battery. If the problem continues, professional assistance may be required to examine the immobilizer system.

Check if the immobilizer light on the dashboard is flashing when the car shuts off. If it is, the immobilizer might be preventing the engine from staying on. Try using a different key if possible, or check if the key you have is damaged or has a low battery if it's a remote key. If the issue persists, you may need to have the immobilizer system checked by a professional. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
