HELP! *sad face*

I actually might have a similar problem! This morning started the car cold and the car fired, then after a second or two seemed to struggle for about 3 seconds (vibrating excessively and making a clicking noise) before settling down to its usual startup routine.

I don't think it would be battery as I imagine it would have done its done once the engine fired up, so I am thinking fuel pump.

Hey nick I remember Reading a thread about a bunch of gti owners with a similar problem. Have a search around.

As for me vw are replacing the battery.
