Default Long starts

When I start my 200 it always takes about 5-7sec to start. The good thing is it always starts. My friends dad's 3 older Audis also all start the same way. Is that just how the old ones start or will a new starter get it start like a normal car?

Try unplugging the cold start injector...

They've got a habit of giving the old girls a big slug of fuel when they really don't need them... Worth a try....
