Just bought a 2003 Jetta TDI GLS. Love it so far and runs great, Timing Belt tools and kit ordered so plan on doing that this weekend.

The only problem that I have had is that when I start it up first thing in the morning (about 5 degrees this morning), It starts right up but has a little shutter. Kind of acts like a miss in a gas engine. Any thoughts?

Check the injection quantity: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/multi/IQ-adjust-hammer-mod-TDI.htm

There's a cold advance solenoid on the pump, the stumble could be related to timing.

When was the fuel filter last changed?

Does revving the engine make any difference?

When I rev the engine it seems to get better. Just changed the fuel filter when I got it.

Let me know how the tb goes. I plan on changing mine soon but a little scared.
Is it really that bad. I am mechanically inclined.

I printed off the directions from this site. They look pretty good. Just got tools and kit today. I ordered them from boraparts.com. Talked with Arin and he was very helpful. Overall a pleasure to do business with. I will keep you posted.
