Hi guys,

I know it isn't a GTI engine, but I figured somebody might know anyway.

Had a new car delivered this weekend, 306 XS (2001, 1.8 16v engine). I haven't seen the car yet, been away and someone collected it on my behalf. Anyhow, the guy who picked it up said the only problem is it doesn't idle at all when cold, it cuts out. Idles fine when warmed up.

Obviously I will take a look at this when I am back and able to look at it, but just wondered in the mean time if anybody knows what could be causing this? Sounds like it could be the idle control valve to me?

Cheers

Got round to looking at it today, started and idled fine from cold and not been used for couple of days.

I know the battery was literally just replaced by previous owner as it wouldn't start. Wondering if the drive back has allowed ECU to reset itself after battery being disconnected.

Either way, doesn't appear to be a problem. Perhaps it is intermittent, shall wait and see.
