I bought my golf GTI from main dealer 48000 miles cold starts were terrible after repeated visits into the dealer they changed plugs coil packs and PCV  to no avail . Had my intake off and valves media blasted they were really gummed up I'd liked to add + my cold start misfires have now gone . I had to shell out for this myself tho as VW said the car wasn't displaying a fault code and refused to investigate carbon build up .

That's messed up mate. I'd take them to small claims as you have proof of the gunked up inlet right? .

Yea I have proof a video and pics but as the head of business has offered an extra years warranty in previous discussions before  I had it media blasted. I decided now to take it on the chin and claim the extra warranty . The intake clean set me back 270 which I think is a small price to pay if I get an extra years warranty,if they knew I had taken it elsewhere they wouldn't give me the extra warranty no doubt + taking them to the small claims will cost and is agh I could do without .

I've never noticed this with my MK5 but my missus said it struggled to start a few times when she's used it.
Odd that it's never done it with me though!
Maybe it doesn't like her? :wink:
