It's Redex that actually works
It gets great reviews on the internet, I gave it a go before my first & second oil changes and now the car jumps into life from a cold start whereas before it stumbled, missed, and eventually croaked into life.
The cause of the poor starting is a case of the TFSI dirty injector syndrome :sick:

Injectors.Thats your problem.

I've run some forte injector cleaner through the tank today, will see if it helps.

Wouldn't injector problem lead to general bad running too? Mine runs sweet once it's up and running (touch wood)
