Hi, I wondered if anyone can shed any light on a problem with my Leon TDi (150). I’ve only had it a couple of weeks and all appears well apart from there appears to be an issue with cold starting.

When it’s first started, it just seems to struggle to get going, if I give it half throttle, it sometimes catches a bit better but usually it just ‘chugs’ for a bit and then amid a cloud of diesel smoke improves bit by bit until it runs properly (this takes about 10 to 15 seconds).

I haven’t taken it anywhere as yet but just wondered if this was a common fault/problem that was an easy fix such as replace glow plugs etc.

Thanks
