Mk3 103tsi consumption at tickover

[kaanage]

I know that more fuel is required for the cold start process but I am trying to compare the actual amount required for a car that is not experiencing cold start driving issues that I am.
My car is less than a year old and it did not have these problems for the first 2k so there is something wrong and I want it fixed.
I have already left it with the dealers and got the usual and totally unsatisfactory "it's normal" response.
I need facts to ascertain if my readings are relatively rich or lean, or even normal for this phase.

OK, this additional information puts a different spin on your initial enquiry. The MkVII Golf forum may provide more feedback for this engine

I just took a vid of stone cold start of ours. Im currently uploading it to youtube.

TLDR; 3.1 L/hr on initial start, then drops to 2.7-2.8, then down to ~2L/hr very quickly. I shut it off after that. 27.5 deg ambient (according to car)

I'll edit with link when it's done

EDIT: The mode button is a wank anyway, ours stays in normal all the time. I just have steering in "sport" for a bit more weight to it

Thanks, the warm-up behaviour seems common across our type. I imagine colder weather just lengthens the process a bit.

I would like the heavier steering option as mine is a little over-light compared to what I considered perfect in the previous 1.9D Mk2. I expect the extra 100kg of diesel engine between front axles made a difference though.

That worked, and yes it is about the same as mine and Brenno's.
