Morning All,

Had to leave my car in last week to the Non-Skoda dealer I bought it from for problems on cold start. They cleared a couple of fault codes and test drove it and it seemed much better when I got it back on Monday (problem was on setting off from cold there was a lot of judder and hesitation).

On my way home last night, after starting it was hunting for it's idel point between 400 and 1500 rpm then after around a mile of driving, while stopping at some traffic lights, it decided to stall. No problem re-starting the car but stalled again at the next set of lights and another 5 times - always when breaking to a halt.

Managed to find a way around it by breaking early and coasting with foot on the accelerator but it's a bit worrying while driving through stop/start city traffic and the engine dies everytime you stop. At least the brake servo seems to work without the engine running but the power steering doesn't.

Anyone any ideas before I take it back to the dealers again? Be better to give them an idea of what the problem might be. They do have VAG-Com though.

Sounds like a throttle body problem to me. Expensive if it needs to be replaced, but the dealer should be able to clean it.
