[Vwdiesel] runs rough when cold

[Chuck Carnohan]

Loren touched on it- If it starts OK and runs like crap when it's cold- 
Likely dribbling injectors.  Once the engine is hot, the combustion
problem is mitigated to a certain extent and not noticeable.

Some of us geezers have "dribbling injectors" 
but can't replace our nozzles! :-)
