hmm possibly you have a dodgy fuel accumulator, is it worse after being sat a few hours than it is overnight?

[golf-manic]

it only seems to do it when the car is stone cold.
im going to do what the haynes manual says in a min, and hopefully should be alright.
i was thinking the auto-choke as its abit lumpy when it does start, but ill leave that for my dad to look at
cheers again

missed it was an 8v, what year?  if its a digifant model do the ecu temp sensor

[golf-manic]

yea its a 8v digifant, ill clean it and look at it when my dad gets home
cheers guys

i have changed the blue temp sensor,for one out of my old engine, and struggles to start now so im going to get a new one asap.
i have also noticed the temp reading on the dash is really low and think it is all connected somehow.
anyone else with some ideas for now?
cheers

[golf-manic]
