Background:
Foggy morning (really high humidity). About 55-60 degrees F, 99.5 Golf IV parked overnight on a slanted driveway.
Problem:
Started the car, realized I had left something back in the house so I shut the car off after about 2 minutes, and was gone about 4 minutes. Came back and the car wouldn't start. Acted flooded. Tried about a dozen times then it started and has run fine since.
Does the ECU permit flooding at idle (like many TDIs it runs pretty rough the first 2-4 minutes)? Other than "don't shut it off until it warms up about 5 minutes" (i.e., "don't do that again"), anyone have any suggested workaround or ideas that this may be indicative of a more serious problem? This happen to anyone else?
It was a typical foggy morning for some place like SFRAN, any of you guys want to see if you can duplicate it? (Don't know why you would but hey, maybe we got a risk-taker or two out there.)
