Start up issue
snapey:
Morning.
Right, this morning I had a bit of an issue with the motor that's confusing me slightly.
Came to the car this morning, turned it over and it seemed to catch alright, however after that it dropped straight off to 500 rpm is, held there sounding rough as hell, almost 3 cylinder'ish before it started to rev upwards towards about 2300 rpm at which point it turned it off. Started it back up and it caught fine and held at about 1.1krpm (bearing in mind it was cold). Any idea what may be causing this as its been abit spluttery on start up for the past couple of months but it's never done this, coilpacks? MAF? Any help is more than welcome.

mine can be a little weird on startup sometimes, not as bad as what you just explained but always seems to take longer 2 "catch" than any other car i have ever started up.

I have had this issue in our TT it ended up to be a coil pack !
About £20 to fix :grin: :grin: :grin:
I hope it is the same for you !
snapey:
Sweet, guessing if it is a coil-pack VCDS should be able to pick up a possible misfire, excessive knock etc on an individual cylinder shouldn't it?

Britishlion:
yes it can straight away !
