Was it the immobiliser kicking in? Anything lit up on the dash? Mine does that once in a blue moon, but with immobiliser showing on dash, starts after a couple of go's.

Mr Orange, check the wiring (and plug) going into your reader coil on the ignition lock, bet you have loose connection there.
Or confirm by scanning with VCDS.

I've had a few gremlins like that in the past, drove home (car started first time) cold day got to shops came back out and it was just turning over and not firing, sat there cursing tried a few more times and nothing. Got my code reader out the glovebox noted and reset all the codes then it fired up first time and has since and this was months ago. Codes were just rear lambda sensors which I always get but run a turbo back so makes no odds
