Tow/Push Start...
WOT when cranking...
pouring some (~2tbsp) 2stroke into the leading spark plug holes...
the 2stroke worked for unflooding my 88 GXL, just remember to replace your spark plugs after.

NEVER, EVER tow start. If you must move the car to start it, PUSH start. The reason should be obvious.
Non starting FCs are generally just flooded. Flooring the pedal helps in the S4 as well as the S5 as it allows much more air through the engine.
But if the car is hard of starting, then something is wrong.

only if you have low compression.
before people flame me, most engines are borderline on compression, warm engines lose some compression and tend to flood easier so allowing more air into the engine does help to start a slightly low compression engine.
