I have a Mark 5, 1.6 FSI 2007. On starting the car from cold the engine shakes and makes a slight tapping noise when reved. This lasts for about 5 mins and then the car is fine- it feels like its running on 3 cylinders....then fine after 5 mins, any idea what the problem could be?
The car has been regularly serviced by VW and is not due for a service......

On the 1.6 fsi engine there was a technical bulliting for a modified timing chain variator but only for rattling noises on start up if thats any help?

could be spark plug or coil pack on the way out, best to vcds the car

Check for fault codes if not check engine timing by timing marks on tdc cylinder one as timing maybe slightly out especially if timing chain tensioner mayhave failed or variable valve timing slipped
