HI guys,,

 Am wondering if anybody can give me a few idea s of what my problem could be , ive bought a 67 plate 1.6 diesal  its now covered 24.000mls now from sept , 

 

the problem am now getting is when i start the car from cold in the mornings is that its idling rough for about 2 mins until the revs go up, it doesnt feel smooth at all, 

 

but once its warm its a great running car starts fine ,just from cold lying over night is the problem,its going into skoda (edinburgh) next week

 

its had all its services since new .

I have similar behaviour and the garage suggested changing the fuel filter at the next service. Not been in for the next service yet, so cannot confirm that changing the fuel filter helps but seems to be worth a try.

i just took mine a run there from cold and it was bad it was jerky really bad , now am wondering if it could be a bad fuel filter its due another service in 2800mls, all my years of driving cars ive never felt driving a cold car so bad , once its warm its brilliant. ill let you know how i get on what skoda says this week ,

If the filter is blocked, wouldn't you get the problem all the time?

Am now starting to think this , i think ill give it a full engine service , see if it goes away before i take it to skoda because its a dead cert they will advise me to get a engine service its got 2700k to its next service

just to let you know mate , ive changed to using the esso s &bp s up graded diesal i know its more expensive but my problem is now solve my car is back to normal ,in the past ive always used asda,morrison s ,supermarket garages  think it was the fuel must have been , try it your self 

HI GUYS, well where do i start , after my first posts back in march i think about this cold start problem, now my car is on 33k  when the car was in for its last service my guy heard a noise that sounded like a faulty injector, back then i got the car in to skoda , they couldnt find any problems as the car started without a splutter after leaving it over night with them, so i was happy with that and just put it down to the car being normal, but 2 days ago its running ruff and sounding bad i got the car straight in to skoda again, now the top tech guy says yes this is a problem as he could feel a littile back presure on the air box pipe and could hear it running like an auld cow, he said it could be a valve spring broken but not sure until he strips it down , i cannot believe this  being still a new car....... now for the fun part my service history arent skoda parts will this still be covered on my warranty am a little concerned  any idea of costs involve if i have to fork out.
