Hot Starting!
hi! can anyone give any advice on cureing my `hot start` niggle!….my `87 mk1 cab. has been tuned and runs perfectly smoothly , no flat spots etc but when its been run for a while and then parked for 20 ish mins it can be a pig to start, once started runs perfectly , have renewed plugs,leads,coil,cap,rotor even fixed a large magnet to the fuel tank to hold any debris from a recent fuel neck renewal! 
…hope you can help……..Stuart

If it's a GTI, Hall sender in the dizzy.
Had exactly the same prob, replaced the sender - perfect starting since. Might be better or cheaper to replace the dizzy complete, cost me ?70 for the repair at an autoelectrician's !!!!

once you restart it does it run on 3 or less cylnders for a while? If so could be leaking injectors
