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! :banghead: …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 !!!!
Owning a Mk1 cabby is a vertical learning curve…

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