#5 of 6 Passat starting problems by possum5 Mar 15, 2009 (5:22 pm)
I recently acquired a 2002 V6. The only issue I have is if I do short journeys, the car is very hard to start. I am told it is caused by the computer sensing the engine has not reached operating temp & floods the motor. Can anyone help? Replies to this message: sean35 (Mar 23, 2009 1:40 pm)

Replying to: possum5 (Mar 15, 2009 5:22 pm) Volkswagens in general tend to have many electrical/computer issues. Try going to your VW dealer and see if they can repair/replace the computer. If not, maybe some engine work...?
