Hi folks, my mk3 vr is overfueling when cold, i.e if i start it up and rev it, it floods instantly and then washes the bores and takes a few tried to get it running again. I have had it on vagcom and all is good, tried new plugs and leads even checked for any air leaks. Strange thing is if I start it and don't touch the throttle, let it run for a few mins it drives perfect. Any ideas as my neighbours aint liking the car running for 5 mins at 7am before I leave for work... Cheers in advance

In answer to questions, We used the vr's hydraulic clutch, there were grommets in the van and the pedal had the slot for the plunger already, prob one of the easiest bits... The fuel tank and lines were swapped out for the vr ones too. And lastly it took me ages to find this van, travelled over 900 miles to get it, looking better than it did in the pics, now runs smoothed wings, genuine us front bumper and has a us tailgate waiting to go on aswell as new rear arches, then hopefull the 9x16 brock b1s will fit. Cheers folks.
