From reading some threads on tdiclub it sounds like the long crank at start-up is due to the high-pressure fuel pump losing pressure after sitting for a while. Which to me sounds like the beginning of a HPFP failure - which if it failed takes out the entire fuel system. $$$$$$
I don't have a lot of confidence in my TDI either. I was on the fence about buying a car with large tuning modifications done after production. The dieselgate warranty made me think that risk was acceptable but my warranty experience with local dealers makes me think I don't want the hassle.
