Misfire?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

When cold i.e in the mornings and I Start it up it runs lumpy and stalls if I don't give it a bit of throttle. I have to hold the throttle for about 30seconds and you can hear it clear and it idles fine.

 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dan

Normal as far as 205 GTi's go. Probably just condensation/damp collecting in the cylinders for the first 30 seconds or so. Mine does the same. Sounds like it fires on 3 for the first 10 seconds, but doesn't stall. I have never seen a GTi start on the button from cold without a lumpy idle - So you are not alone.
