Not sure about VW but most cars with this type of warranty will have to be serviced annually by the supplier to qualify.

There are devices in the Bosch CIS-E system not functioning that may need replaced. Most commonly it would be the thermo-time switch. This switch is also a sensor telling the ECU whether your engine is cold or hot so it would compensate fuel delivery depending on temperature. An auxiliary air regulator also opens (more air) or closes (less air) dependent from the thermo-time switch signals. It's basically telling the ECU when it's a cold morning to supply a richer air/fuel mixture or not to when it's at operating temperature. There is also a cold start valve (fifth fuel injector) that could be sticking or leaking or simply not supplying fuel during cold start up. Again, this has a higher level of understanding and special VW tools to diagnose your fuel injection problem that should be left to a VW tech to work on. It could be dangerous because fuel is involved, a single spark from static electricity could ruin your day.

Poss air mass meter,not reading the fact that it requires choke.when cold.replace it.

Need a radio tool to pull out the unit.

Green/blue to negative side of the coil, yellow to the positive side of the coil.

did you try under the dash board,if not check the glove compartiment,the last place should be under the hood there is one more fuse box.good luck..most comon places are right by the driver side dashboard.

Support the engine as the bolts go through the front motor mounts, disconnect battery (have radio cde if ness) diconnect starter wres, remov bolts> Install is reverse.

check and clean the points if it has them. under the rotor in the cap
