Default A3 starting issue

Hello all just picked up my first Audi, the A3 2.0T afew weeks back. It had 9k miles on itas I went pre-certified for cost reasons. Anwway, I've only had the car for about 2 weeks but I notice the ignition takes longer to start in the morning than my SUV that had 100k miles on it did (which I sold to buy the A3). Starting to get a little nervous. Is this normal? If not, anyone know if ignition issues are covered under the warranty.

thanks

Mine started to do that, too.
When I took it in for service (because the CEL was coming off) they exchanged the fuel pressure sensor and it's been starting fast again.

I don't know if it's really related to the exchange, but it definitely faster now.

CEL is the Check Engine Light.

A recall has been issued for all Audi with the 2.0TFSI engine if I remember correctly for erratic behaviour of the CEL.

However, it seems that my issue was related to the Fuel pressure sensor.
