Haha it seems motorcycles are not your only passion. I have a 2005 s3 and have almost never had a problem starting even in really cold weather. Is the issue that it struggles to crank? My rectal hypothesis is that you might just have a poorly performing battery. Might be worth investing the 120$ in a new one. I picked up a Yuasa recently and so far so good.
Coincidentally I am taking my S3 through NYC tomorrow
