Agreed

My 1.6FSI mkV Golf did this as well. It almost sounded like a diesel at tickover and when pulling away until it had about 5k miles on it.

I think what happens is that they spray in a minimum amount of fuel in the low rev range. In the Golf it was in "fuel stratified injection mode" until about 3k revs.

FSI = fuel stratified injection
