Hello knowledgeable folk,
Has anyone had a hesitation problem with the engine of a 205 GTI while it is just warming up. The engine starts fine and runs smoothly (!and it has enough power when up to temperature), but when cool you need to be careful not to stall it as you drive off. Then once warm all is fine! The plugs are new and it is an old engine of course.
My hunch is that it is a temperature sensor somewhere or maybe the fuel injection is faulty. I don't have experience with either of these (so far) so maybe it's time to get acquainted! But first I'd be grateful if you can give any suggestions or guidance.
