2011 Golf TDI.
Over the past few months the car has not been starting the first time I try the ignition, or if it does, it takes 3-4 seconds of cranking. The strange thing is that if I turn off the ignition and immediately try again, it starts up normally. Further, if the engine has been running, the ignition issues disappear until the car is left sitting again overnight. I asked the dealer to test the battery and they said it's fine.
