How long is "longer" ?

When you say longer...you do know they will take longer the colder it it is? You sure it's not just a coincidence the weather has been colder?

Mine occasionally takes a wee bit longer to start when it is colder; if I were you, I'd hold off and see what happens when the weather improves.

can be just down to the cold weather, but i also have a bmw 320d and that starts up straight away, but the audi is taking longer than usual, so that why i was asking if i should replace the glow plugs.
