Hi all,

My car has started having long cranks before starting for the last couple of days, other than that it runs fine.

Is anyone able to offer any advice please?

The logs show it’s not related to the HPFP or LPFP pressure.


The log below shows a failed start and code thrown. I continued logging and pressed the start button again and it started immediately. I was also logging Vanos status but I’m not sure what to look for here.

The DME is water damaged.

Please check this area guys to save this happening to you!

I watched a video just a few days ago on YouTube (ZeroTo60) and he had this same problem - it was on my list to do, but I guess I should’ve checked it sooner!
