Hi All, I have been reading various threads about problems with slow staring on A2 diesels but haven't found an agreeable solution. Symptoms are, leave the car a few days and it will only start after cranking it for 30~45 seconds, once started it's perfect, no smoke, just perfect. Stop it and it will restart with no issues. Leave it another 2 days and the process repeats itself. I have fitted a new filter and recently had all 3 injectors replaced, also replaced the wiring loom inside the rocker cover about a year back. Once started you could drive it Australia without incident. It's as though the fuel is slipping back to the tank. It's certainly not electrical so has anyone found the definitive answer to this problem. Some have said there's an air leak somewhere in the fuel line but the lines look good and there's no signs of any fuel leak. Slowly running out of ideas so any help from the community would be really appreciated. Rich
