Is the clicking a sharp, metallic sound? Does the engine actually turn when the ignition key is held in the "start" position?

i am so glad to hear from u Siena. The sound is quite sharp and metallic and is more like a spark or something, and then d display lights go dim and there is no engine rotation.

Sounds like a bad starter motor, or battery has low charge level. Try using jumper cables, or a jumper pack. If the results are the same, replace the starter motor.

If the engine turns and starts with a jump start, replace the battery.

Thanks Sienna. i have just replaced the battery and it is alright now. my audi a4 b5 is rugged and all. problem i hv is mostly electrical. like my speedometer, odometer work intermittently, they lay asleep for sometime and then suddenly come back to life, work for a while and then fall back flat. i would really like to know how to solve this. thanks again
