My 89 Scirocco GTI is having problems with frosty mornings - it starts instantly but will only run for about 5 seconds - If I touch the accelerator it dies instantly. Then its a case of start again, wait till it stops, start again etc etc until it gets enough heat in it to keep going - the engine is still liable to die when returning to idle for the next five minutes. Which particular valve or regulator is not working? They all seem to be much too expensive to swap out on a "trial and error" basis.
