I've also got a 2012 Sportwagen TDI with about 83k miles and have been experiencing the same thing. Only happens in the mornings and takes maybe two or three seconds longer of cranking to turn over. Doesn't happen every morning. Sometimes I'll cycle the glow plugs twice before starting, and most of the time it starts up right away. What's interesting is that I've just recently started to notice the problem, and I've been working from home and haven't taken it on the interstate for any extended period of time for a few months. I've had about three instances this winter that I assume are the water in the intercooler problem. Start the car, takes a few seconds to crank, then shuts off. Do this about four times and then it will start, idle rough, then everything is fine. The shop I take it to (Car Doc in St. Louis, MO) is a very highly regarded in these forums, and they've told me it's common and I can either pay $1500 for the "fix" or just step on the gas every once in a while to clear out the water (or something like that). Maybe since I haven't been driving on the interstate and thus haven't had a chance the really push the engine, that might have something to do with having to crank my engine longer in the mornings.
