My 2006 1.6S touranEngine type BSE has started playing up when started from cold and I have noticed the average fuel consumtion(for the same journey and traffic conditions) has dropped from 36-38mpg down to the high twenties. The symptoms at coldstart is the engine runs rough and starts hunting up and down with a lot of smoke black/grey. also occasionally there is a smell of petrol. I guess the same symptom as having the choke pulled out too far in the old days.
I have also noticed a clunking/ knocking noise has apeared from the N/S front when the steering is turned It sounds almost like a dry rubber bush. but I guess thats for another thread. The VW main dealer on the Isle of Wight is hopeless but there is a good independant, but I would like to have some idea of what it might be.
