Hi Guys, any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as im new to the audi tdi engines.

i have recently bought a 2004 audi a3 1.9tdi and am havin startup issues, the car seems to struggle starting and turns over for a good 3-5 seconds before jolting to life. im really stressing about this and any advice on what it may be would be vastly appreciated.

thanks, Marc
