My Q7 was intermittently taking a while to start (10 seconds then a puff of white smoke when started) diagnostics showed the number six glow plug was the problem. Only £17 from euro parts so put a full set in and has been fine since. Was told that because it didn't fire straight away that unburnt fuel was getting to the lambda sensor and so the ecu was backing the fuel off hence why it would just turn over and over.
