Default Audi 100 5cyl cold start problem

IIRC The cold start might receive power from the starter solenoid. So check
the wiring to there and also check to see that it does get power to that
wire wihle the starter is operating.
I am not sure where it grounds out if not through a thermostatic switch.

later,
