Thank you for the reply, I've tired that it didn't change anything, at a local garage they said due to the high miles 163000 they see alot of these engines with the same problem.

In your car, the engine runs on the battery power for the first 8-10 seconds, until it starts. Check if your main (high voltage) battery is at low charge when this happens. Does the same thing happened if you drive around for a while and then turn the car off and on?
