Right im looking to buy a new car and the owner has said that when its started it a little tappy. Once it has warmed it absolutely fine. Is this anything to worry about. Im sure my sport used to do it but it stopped after a few seconds... Help please ASAP as could be picking the car up later.

Car is a gsi with a c16xe engine.

Yep I think I will. Should I maybe use thicker oil? I know you can get addatives for the oil so may look into them. Must remember to keep my x16xe lower inlet tho, just incase
