right this is my suspicion with my PD VRS at the moment with my starting issue i think and wondering where is the best place to start looking?

filter hoses and housing?

A friend had a passat with a similar problem. They found that if the car was parked pointing slightly down hill at the front, that the problem disappeared.

I know that means that the fault is still there, and will only get worse, but in the short term their starter motor & battery are not getting hammered.

Probably a tiny little leak on one of the fuel lines, but wouldn't know where to start unless its visibly leaking. Good luck.

Wheel thats one way of killing your turbo. Redlining it straight after you start it.
