I took my car to the dealer not to long ago and they supposedly installed 4 new glow plugs because of the recall. I also have a brand new battery in it, but why does it start so rough. It's like this every time its below 30F out, our 83 rabbit truck starts better than this in the cold! Does anybody's tdi start this badly in the cold. Forgot, it also has a new fuel filter, MAF and air cleaner. Heres a video of what its like. Forgot to mention one more thing, the cel came back on a few day's after the recall was done.

Edit: I went in to the VW dealer December 16th and told them about my issue. I also told them a lot of other people who have 2004 or later TDI models are experiencing the same problem after the reflash. She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "we haven't had any complaints at all after this particular service was done and we never heard anything from VW of America yet so we can't help you". Guess I'll just have to wait until my start burns up until they find a fix!
