Cold start misfire/Judder solution

Hello everyone,

I just thought to share my recent experience with my 2011 VRS 2.0 TSI. I bought this car nearly two months ago. From day one, the car had cold start issues (judder/clanky noise/misfires....). Refer to my forum content regarding the same: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/530154-cold-start-noise-2011-vrs-20/

I consulted three mechanics and fitted a new timing chain and spark plug set along the process. None of these resolved the cold start issue. Finally, I consulted a VAG engine specialist in Leicestershire.

The place is called PIP automotive and he is your go to person for this engine and its all generation variants. He is an injector specialist as well.

Apparently my injectors were leaking, had air leak in the intake system, and huge carbon build up inside the ports. All of these were figured out immediately. Following that, he did walnut blasting, refurbished all four of my injectors and sorted my air leakage issues. Costed me £300 for everything. Car drives absolutely brilliant now all thanks to him.

Highly recommended for these engines.
