It has never taken more than a second to start, even after sitting outside all night in the cold. Every other time it is instant.

dsm, I'm not exaggerating when I say 5 seconds, also temperature is not an issue because it's usually in the 70s here. When I went to the dealership and told them of this problem, the guy shrugged it off and said that it's a common problem for VW owners.

Yea sorry, I probably should have explained my problem:
An example would be when I start my car in the morning. When I try to start the engine, it doesn't start right away, it takes about 5 seconds. It sounds like it isn't catching. The ignition turns over longer than it should. So I just want you to verify if your car does this or not.

Mine does that every once every couple weeks.

Most definitely need to make a video of this to document it. Make sure you contact VWoA of this situation and definitely go to another dealership. Make sure you save all the documents that you got (including your visits to the original dealership that told you it was a "common problem"). Those are the things I can think of for you to start doing right now.

Up here in Rochester, NY. I've had 0 degree (F) mornings and 60 degree days - never cranks more than a second before starting right up.

I notice that after the car has not ran for at least eight hours, when i start her up it takes a few extra cranks to start (hot or cold outside, it does not matter) but it always starts up, never ever more than a second or 2

In cold weather, mine takes slightly longer to start. But its nothing super noticeable.

Mine starts normally all the time!

I have a similar, if not the same problem. Starting my car in the morning is usually just fine, but when I come out of work after 6-8 hours the car takes FOREVER to turn over. a few times I thought the car wasn't going to start at all. Let me know what you find out, I am considering taking mine in. Also, I noticed the problem first started last summer when it was extremely hot, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, because it has done it pretty often during the winter too.
