      So you mean that your engine needs turning over for along while before it catches and starts??

      Have you vagcommed it?
      is it a 3b? (dizzy)
      New plugs?
      checked compression on all cylinders...

      Like greg says more info is needed

              Have you changed the fuel pump check valve? Notorious for leaking and not being able to maintain fuel pressure in the lines, causing hard starts.

                Hi
                cr is standred compression good I checked fuel pressure it seen to be holding
                It is hard to start hot or cold . Cold start is a bit better than hot start i dont have to turn it over as much before it fires , 2 things that will make it hard to start are bad compression & bad fuel pressure these things seem ok , What else should i check
                Cheers Jade
