Default Does Anyone Have Issues With The TT Turning Over When It's Cold?

In the morning, the TT does not like to start very easily. I usually have to turn it over, take the key out and start it again. It always starts on the second time. I live in Scottsdale, AZ, so it's not even that cold. My question is... is this normal? Does anyone have this problem?

Default No, my TT is always right side up, even on cold mornings. J/K, I live in Miami, and yes, when

it's cold here in the morning, I experience the exact same thing. I just ignore it, and start the car again, and just like you mentioned, on the second time, never a problem.

This only happens when we have cold weather.

Default So, then my second question is...

Do you have issues filling up your car as well. I thought there might be a problem with the fuel system since it doesn't like to start in the mornings and the second problem is that it doesn't take 16.3 gallons of gas like they say the tank is. It usually clicks off at 12 or so, and says it's full. So... do we have 16.3 gallon tanks or not?

No, but the dog won't go out! Me too, have to wait a sec. Like glow plugs. Was asked if it's diesel!

Default I only have that prob when I forget to put the clutch in...

sometimes it takes a little longer than normal to start, but it always does.

I haven't RTFM in a while. I thought it was 14.5 gal (I could be mistaken)
