First thing this morning, single 'click' again and then nothing. Tried it twice more, and it started.

What's going on....bad starter? Car is a 2009 TT.

Check your large battery cables for voltage drop; this problem is well known and even Porsche released a TSB recommending replacing older cables with a newer design that do not suffer the internal resistance build up from corrosion.
