My 51 1.8 gdi is very slow to come back to tickover when i stop.

this could have several causes. I would check the crank case breather system, the oil separator, the vacuum lines and the return line to the dipstick where the oil from the separator drains back to the crank case.

Don't mash the gas ! Just kidding , how many miles on the vehicle ? Have you had a decarbonization done ? GDI - gas direct injection engine have a problem with carbon build - up on intake valves .

Check for stiff track as it appears that the motor is overloading and stopping After time the motor cools down and resets and starts.

you car is fitted with a "no fuel"system,so when you take your foot off "no fuel" goes to the engine untill it reaches 1200 revs.then it will allow fuel to flow to keep tickover/smoothness.(its computer controlled)you need to get your car onto the diagnostic computer,(skoda/seat/vw/audi)so you have the codes/items that need to be sorted.The tdi engine was one of the first engines that VW computerised and it is very reliable/powerful,compared to the peugeot/citroen engine.(briefly,the fault is not just a switch/cable),

i had the same problem on my 95 pajero 3500 andafter all my troubles my car produced an occasional airfilter blow back from running on gas before it finally would'nt run my problem turned out to be my crankshaft sensor was failing then died.

the engine tickover is too slow when the engine is cold its running on cold start, ie:choke,, after it warms up the engine slows down this is what is causing it to stall in gear,, get some one to hold the brakes hard on and with the engine running in gear ajust the tick over till its reving at 750 - 850 rpm the revs will go up a bit when its out of gear,, before you pick a gear to go into push the foot brake down to stop the car lurching,,,
