For the last few days, about 50% of the time, when I try to start the Passat, I have to crank it a few times (10-sec each, 3-4 times), and THEN the car starts.
I thought I was going to be stranded yesterday, as it took a few more cranks to get it started.
I did notice, on the last crank, out of the corner of my eye, that I was NOT getting a glow plug light for a couple seconds like I usually do at start-up.
Then on the last crank, when the car started, the glow plug light DID come on.
OK...so the problem seems to be something electrical?
Any ideas?
Thanks...
