Rough/hard idle when cold

Post by DKPOLOGT »

Just curious, if anyone can enlighten me,

Is the 1.4 tsi 140/150hp (ea211), having the same cold start sound as the earlier 1.4tsi for example the 122hp (caxa). I know the hard idle, so to speak, is to quickly heat up the cat.

Example of a 1.4 122 cold starting

And i ask because my new car has'nt arrived yet.

Cheers :)

The new EA blocks have a different management system as such. You shouldn't see the same behaviour
