Stall after cold start
« on: 20 August 2014, 14:29 »
Hi guys, i have a 2.0l 8v GTi.  when I cold start the car it starts up fine but as the revs come back down it will just stall. It's only on a cold start and the second I rev it slightly it will be ok. I cleaned out the throttle body yesterday - which was filthy, but that hasn't changed anything. Any ideas what else it might be?

Thanks in advance

Try Resetting all codes via vag com, my car once had the same problem with stalling, and cleaning the throttle body didn't make a difference, but once I reset all the codes too, it ran sweet as a nut

if you do reset the codes make a note of them first, and then check a day later to see what has come back
