Cold start fault

(1/3) > >>

Thought id start a new thread on my continous problems!

My car has now developed a new fault which is, when i try to pull away first thing on a morning the car wont really drive properly until the revs drop back down to normal tickover. Its as if there is no throttle control while the cold start is running!? Then, as the revs drop to normal rpm the car suddenly picks up and then its fine!

Any ideas anyone?

Someone said it could be the PCV??

ive just replaced my pcv mainly as precaution but my Gti seems to start better now, it seemed to turn over a few more times when cold before it fired.
The pcv cost me approx £30 from the dealers mate,  the parts guy said theres a 7-10 day back order on them but managed to source me 1 from a nearby dealer

jimmy-s3:
Still unsure if the pcv is at fault?
Not sure what else would cause the problem?

v2brett:
is there anyone close whose pcv you could try to eliminate it Jimmy?

jimmy-s3:
Just checked my pcv valve and all  seems fine, ive blown through the valve and it only works one way!
Getting pissed off with it now!
Anyone else got any ideas?
