Hey

My Brother has been complaining about his golf from cold start ups?

Its a MK4 GTI 150 (FSH @ 80K)


It will start up fine and appears to idle as normal. When driving the car It has a very noticeable lack of power, and makes a waffleing noise as the rev's build (sounds more under the car than in the engine bay?) as if it has a muffled waste gate lol
It only seems temporary ? as once warm (5 +min) the power is on tap and it doesn't make this strange noise.

It isn't every morning and has only just begun being an issue since this colder weather came along ?

Any VW pro's ?

He's owned the car for only a few months ? So have no idea if its a common problem or not ?

Regards

Our PD130 Passat does the same. I reckon its the glow plugs and or CTS thats screwy.
