Hi guys,

Since I just got mine about a bit more than week ago, I starting to notice the car takes a while to start. As in as I turn the key it does turn over right away, ~ 1 1/2 seconds. Not sure if there is a sign of things to come or just me being paranoid.

 

Possibly the fuel pump needs to pressurize. I have always turned the key to the on position and waited until the small red light on the fuel gauge goes out before cranking. This indicates that all of the pre-start tests have finished. This pertains only to the R53.

 

I give it shot, it will be like starting a diesel engine.
