Morning all,
It has happened a few times in the last week, as my golf gets cold I will start it and then it will start on the dot, no problem yet.
Then as soon as I put it in first gear it will choke a bit and the lights dim, it tries to stall itself?
I can catch it and then leave it for a few minutes to warm up and it runs fine...
I have cleaned the MAF sensor so far, and probably going to do the throttle body this weekend.
Any other suggestions?
Cheers in advance.
Dan

I had a similar issue last year and it was the coolant temp sensor. You need to get it scanned for fault codes really.

Cool, will give it a go. Thanks mate.

Got one off of Ebay for £15 so will get that tomorrow and see if that works.

I was thinking of giving it a good run just before I swap it over, that seemed like a bit more of a challenge :whistle:
