"Cold" Start problem with 180HP Audi TT

If anyone have a problem to start your car "COLD", I suggest to change your Octane grade from 94 to 89 for a while. Have your fuel tank completly empty then fill up with 89.

I'm going to do this by the next week because I have this problem every morning ( Cold or Warm nights it does not matter )

Some have reported a problem, but if they wait until the 'OK' lights up things are fine

89 octane NOT recommended. Just wait for the lifter to send the gas...wait for "OK" on your dash.

This works every time. No problems if you wait. Even in Chicago.
