Problem cold start????
« on: 11 August 2009, 12:11 »
Hi all this new to me. Any help is much appreciated.
 I have a mk4 1.8 gti 20v,
The prblem is on cold start takes a very long time to fire and sounds quite rough, Once running and warmed up she's fine. Slight rattle on top end when running also.
Thanks.
