    Hi all,
    I have a Volkswagen golf mk4 16v I have been having problems for a while with it starting up. a few month ago the emissions workshop light would come on I then took it to the garage and was told it was the EGR valve and I paid for a new EGR valve to be fitted a few days later the problem occurred again and I took it back to the garage and was told that he had swapped the part over and it worked for about a week and then problems started occurring again.


    What happens is in the morning the car will start up fine however when left for 30mins/1hr the car struggles to start for a few minutes, I turn the ignition and the car starts chuntering trying to start and after turning the ignition for around 1/2 minutes the car eventually fires up and loads of smoke comes out from the exhaust. this problem happens a few times a day. Sometimes the emissions workshop and engine lights will come on however they then go back off. A friend ran there diagnostics kit on it also and no faults where coming up.
    Any ideas what it could be?


    This is a video of me starting it

    Which year and engine? Sounds like a 2003 with a BCB engine. I would expect the EGR valve has not been set up, do you know which one is fitted, part number, make?
