Default Cold Start Problem

Hi guys,

I own a 2007 Audi A3, 1.6 FSI (35k miles). My problem started not long ago and it occurs when the car is still for several hours (I have tested it after 8 hours), it won’t start at the first time (doesn't matter how much I crank it), it starts from the second attempt onwards. After the car starts from second try, every next start runs perfectly and smooth within two hours. The other thing I have noticed is that if I turn on the ignition twice (without cranking the engine in between, it will turn on without problem)

Has anyone had the same problem? I don't know where to start from...

Thanks!

Sounds like a fuel pump pressure issue.

Perhaps a posting on the A3 MkI forum section would reach to a more targeted audience.
