Just looking for opinions here, this morning as I was leaving for work my mam was leaving too and I noticed when she was starting up her car a not so nice screeching noise.

I was thinking to myself what could it be? I was thinking is she pushing in the key enough for starting it as the new A4 models has a push in key start up so no turning key or is there something up with the belt.

Anyway any opinions on what this is also I haven't said anything to them yet so just looking for advice before I recommend them getting it looked at.

Sounds like a loose belt. I would get it checked into a dealer

Thanks alex, as I said in my OP I thought it might be that or else not holding in the key long enough for starting it.
