Have it scanned for fault codes stored by the computer. Check for spark at the plugs and proper ignition timing.

Check the state of charge of the battery. Check the grounds, battery and computer. The 'no link' message means the computer is not communicating with the scanner. It could also be that the microchip in the key is faulty.

Ok. Have you tried fully charging the battery and scanning for codes again?

Use a meter or test light to see if the starter is receiving primary power. Then, use the test light to see if the solenoid is receiving power when a helper turns the key to 'Start' position.

Presuming you have the base model Audi A4 and not something like the Quattro or Avant, see the attached blown up image your vehicle's starter.
