From problems Ive had in the past, it may well be due to the auto choke. Ie its over fueling when warm. As for fixing it, sorry but thats behond me...

nfbr Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 change the plugs... sounds to me as if its flooding... make sure you buy your new plugs from the main dealer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 temperature sender (common problem on most vw's!)Very true! i sell more temp senders for VAG's than any other brand of car!Still do no harm replacing the plugs, and will only cost you about a tenner to £15 providing your car doesnt need the platinum long life ones.
