Ignition 2015 avensis

Can anyone advise me, why it takes a number of turns of ignition to start car

Petrol or diesel ? Hot or cold engine ?

Sorry diesel either hot or cold

[flash22]

More than likely fuel related, when was the fuel filter last changed / when was the car last serviced ?

Heating plugs ?

It could just be a worn starter and it hasnt got the power to crank the engine over, a weak Battery may cause similar issues

Thanks car service 4 months ago,  car starts no problem once I only turn key first quarter beyond that nothing, all of answers have been suggested, I saw a number of Comments with same problem, all issues suggested are expensive. 200 for glow plugs, second hand starter 150, 300 for service . Thanks again , appreciate your advice. I think I will have to do all issues as a process of elimination over time

 glow plugs can be checked before replacing them, i saw it done in the past just can't remember exactly how, and i think the starter can be checked to. Try to check stuff first if possible before replacement less expensive, anyway a good mechanic should keep u right. good luck.
