Hi, I have a strange problem with my Leon SX TDi (110).
This problem usually occurs soon after I start it from cold (hasn't been started for a few hours at least).
As I accelerate in first, The car is fine for a moment, then it feels like the turbo has cut out (loss of power), then after a moment the car dies completely (as I stop accelerating).
When I try to start the car again, sometimes it won't start it just makes a noise (I can't remember what the noise is :/) . When it does start (if it didn't start first time, it will always fire up eventually) the engine and car shakes and the engine sounds very rough, the shake almost seems to be in time with the rough tick over.
Once its warmed up and been revved a bit she is perfect. This problem doesn't happen every time which means I can't just take it to my mechanic and show him.
Thanks in advance for any guesses or advice.
