paceo 22 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 basically had this problem the other day, golf vr6 took a long time to start in the cold the other day and when it did fire up it was a bit spluttery, but after a minute or so it was running perfect. it was -8 at the time though!also yesterday i stalled the car after driving it for about a minute, and again took a lot of cranking to get it running again! but most times in the cold it starts fine!! :-)any ideas?

vr6_super 0 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 my vr6 is a bit like that at the start but when it kicks in its fine, sounds spluttery when cranking but about 3 seconds after it fires up it goes fine, havent driven it tho since it got really cold, just firing up and letting it idle for 30 mins in the drive Link to post Share on other sites
