Starting trouble with an Audi A3

I have just had my injectors replaced as part of a recall by Audi. They replaced the injectors but not the looms. Since getting the car back - when left overnight it is then difficult to start or starts and runs rough for 1-2 seconds. It does not appear to be related to ambient air temperature as it does it when above 12 degrees c. On odd occassions it does not do it at all ! Have you heard of an other cases and if so what the fix is ? Thank you.

Quite a few hangovers from this recall, including failed DPFs. In this case I think the waterproofing has been breached and this is allowing moisture into the looms.

Good choice of engines. Some petrol engines now chain cam. Comfortable and well built interior. cheap to run 1.6 TDI. Feels very refined especially on the motorway.
