I have problem starting the car on cold engine. It cranks 5-7 times and then starts. If engine is hot than NO problem, but when engine get cold than it's the SAME AGAIN.
Recently i noticed that if I wait for at least 25 seconds, then car starts OK !!!
Please any advice or help it would be appreciated ...

Most probably an air leak on the low pressure fuel pump side or faulty glow plugs probably best to put a code reader on it

Actyally on glowplug is faulty, which we couldn't remove due to fusion or melting. BUT it is very hot in my place uo to 40 degrees of Celsius.
