B5 rough cold idle start

Post by Superjools43 »

Hi, patience fast running out with my 2003 2.0 petrol. Very rough cold start idle, frequently stalls, needs to be turned several times before - suddenly - every symptom just suddenly clears and the idle is fine. Worse the colder it is. Coolant sensor changed - no different. Diagnostic attached on recent cold start - no fault codes. Local garages clueless, wary of the 'change this, change that' merry-go-round. Hence my arrival on this forum. Any pointers and past-experience rectifications very very gratefully received. Thx J
