problem cold start mk3 8v
« on: 11 April 2005, 22:26 »
 am rapidly losing faith with this mk3 i want my mk2 back, my mk3 has been idling at 1500-1800  for months i read the forum and cleaned the deposits off the throttle bodies great for 2 weeks now it is difficult to start from cold , 3 or 4 turns and when it does go  you cant move for a minute or it just dies, seems like it needs choke !, logically i thought cold start valve but  reading around it seems temperature sensor is a more common fault , does this description sound like it could be this sensor and if it is how much! any help will be greatly appreciated
