Boy you are not as dumb as I look (or feel).

You said>>.
"Do NOT pump the gas (treat it just like any new FI engine).
Turn the engine over using starter, let it crank for 4 or 5 seconds.
When the engine starts to "sound different", depress the acelerator pedal one time.
VROOM, and it starts right up."

Been sniveling about hot starts. It's 95# up in the big valley today. Took your advice and "VROOM". It does start right up!

I thank you, my battery thanks you and my starter thanks you.

Thanks Ernie, appreciate the feedback. VWs are sorta like global warming, you can go crazy trying to fix it or ya can learn to adapt.

No such thing as Global Warming it's an Al Gore contrived way of soaking money from dopey people that want to believe and worship him, according to the scientsts, we're in a "cooling trend"

But, not to be confused with Volkswagens ?????

Al Gore just sent me this.....
