Scirocco Register

When starting my scirocco i have to give it a bit of gas, if i start the engine without, it turns over and dies. is this just a normal thing or is there something i should be looking at? Runs perfectly otherwise just needs a bit of throttle when starting.

Pretty normal, I'd say. Starting from cold or hot?

The instruction manual even states to use a small amount of throttle when starting the engine.

They did on the early versions (ie my Storm manual), the later manual says you shoukld not need to

If you stick some decent fuel system cleaner in it like slick 50 it might help. It did on mine a few years ago, worth changing the fuel filter too.

Its injection, no its not like the above thread, just needs a bit of gas to start, once going its runs great. Without gas it starts and stops straight away. Ive only had the car two weeks but since posting this thread i have noticed it is cold start only
