cheers for the info topher!i will try to take it easy on those cold mornings.

... ahh what the hell, its not my car :laugh: :laugh:

People like you keep me in business :grin: To be honest you'll probably never have any problems while you own the car. They are tough old motors. It's 5-6 years down the line the abuse shows through. Little turbos + high boost = exhaust housing cracks and leaky seals.

 :grin: :grin:

no worries pal... full throttle from cold is the way forward for me then. Helps the heaters warm up that little bit quicker also :evil:

^^^ There was a "miss fire" at high RPM on the late Mk5's which was caused the check engine light to come up on some cars, but this was due to a valve spring fault that was resolved by a VW TSB.

Yes, it does sound very similar to that issue ... full thread here :-
