Chuggy start (video) anyone know what could be causing this
« on: February 13, 2023, 09:38:44 am »


Always had this issue with the car since i purchased it two years ago, happens on first start up wether its cold or warm weather

But once the car has been driven and warmed up it rarely happens

-Fuel Filter replaced (no difference)
-Battery's at around 50% capacity
-If i press the accelerator while its starting up and chugging, it helps it kick into life (video i didnt press the accelerator at all)
-It runs completely fine, almost too good!

I have VCDS also, if anyone knows anything to look out for on that

Thanks

Also got the same issue. I've been wondering if getting the intake valves walnut blasted would help
