hey info'ers!
Iv noticed that when i start the gti its struggling a little and judders a little, but when i drive around its perfectly fine! its only just started today aswell!
any ideas anyone?
got a few ideas.. could be something to do with the ignition, or maybe the battery?
11th of march 2011
it seems as though my car is wanting to start properly now, so im guessing its not the battery as my dad said it could be something like the fuel filter!
all is well now anyway!

I would say battery would be the first point of call.

I would think its more than likely the battery, any motor factor should be able to do a drop test on it for you

I would say you will be looking at about £80 for a good battery
Dont go to halfords unless you have a trade card.
Try and get a Varta one
