Hi all I am new to the forum and also new to TDI's, sorry if I put this in the wrong place but I recently bought a used golf 7 1.6 TDI bluemotion, from a second hand car dealer already had the switchable waterpump replaced under warranty due to it seizing closed, but since we have started to get the cold mornings, every morning when starting the car it is misfiring quiet badly until it warms up then it's fine for the rest of the day until I go to start it again the next morning then does the same thing. I have done a little research and seems my symptoms are a lot like others have posted and suggest it could be a bad injector. The car does have warranty but it's crappy second hand warranty with limitations and worried it won't cover bad injectors. I also do not have access to or can currently afford vcds to check anything in depth (I will be getting it eventually just can't do it any time soon) I have also heard stories of several paid for diagnostic attempts to try find issues with injectors that play up on cold start. I don't have any engine lights so it doesn't seem to be throwing a cel. I am a bit stumped as to what to do. The garage I got the car from, the service manager is on holiday for another week until I can talk to him so thought I would come here and ask people with much more knowledge than me for some advise. I have added a video I took yesterday morning or what its doing on cold start.https://youtube.com/shorts/yhQ0Pmerkrk
