      My car does struggle to start one or twice every month, it will take a while to start. It seems to be electrical but im not sure.

        Sorry but that explanation to why the DMF failed is laughable to me.

          It sounded a bit crazy for me too, however Volkwerke are pretty reputable so im not sure.
