idle stalling/struggling to start

mark 7 gti 2015 chha engine code, EU specs 105.000 km, stock with only an akrapovic exhaust

last sunday i parked somewhere and one hour later when i started the car it went to 800rpm and after one second it died, i tried starting it again, went to 200-300rpm and was struggling to start, i stopped it, waited 2-3 minutes and i started without an issue
and it happened again last night, went to 200-300 rpm and struggled, after the second try, perfect start
the mechanic found only the catalytic convert error of below threshold
what can it be?
the mechanic wants to remove the injectors and test them and also test the HPFP

Oil consumption

EU specs, 105k km, 2015 CHHA engine code, stock, just an akrapovic exhaust, no fault codes on OBD

Hello guys, i just fixed my oil cooler and other stuff a few weeks ago and now i checked the oil level after 1000 km (600 miles) driven and it was at half way point, i am kind of scared that the engine might be burning the oil since there is no oil leak under the car, pcv was changed to hengst oem, upper timing seal was changed recently and im using Ravenol 5w40 usvo vst and the oil was changed 1k km ago. anyone had this issue before? i also posted a video with white smoke coming out of the exhaust on a cold start in warm summer temperature, the turbo is also a bit noisy from inside the cabin, is it the turbo, valve seals or do you have any similar stories?

Possible coolant leak and oil temperature

Hello guys, just had my expansion tank and cooling liquid changed because my oil cooler was faulty, but after the mechanic done all the work i drove the car for 40km and i got the dash light to fill coolant, i added 400ml and drove the car home, this morning the cooling liquid was lower than last night, is it something usual when u clean the cooling system or he did something wrong? now i got 108-109 degrees celsius on my oil temperature when im driving normally without putting down my foot on the throttle. is that normal or should i check the water pump and clean the radiators? 100k km 2015 gti performance pack

P001400 error

EU specs, 2015 performance pack, 60k miles, no mods just an akrapovic cat back exhaust

Hello guys, for one week my car has been running strange and i can hear the engine is running interrupted only by a half a second at most, went to a mechanic and found the P001400 code and he said it can be the timing chain or VVT and camshaft sensors, after leaving i looked into the expansion tank and found oil, i read that the car can run rough because the vvt are blocked by dirty oil and i wanted to ask if anyone had this issue? i will go today and replace the expansion tank, coolant and oil+filters because the oil radiator is broken and i will also replace that, anyone had this and the car was fine after replacing what i mentioned above? thank you

resonance at 2300rpm

hello guys, i got a 2015 golf 7 performance pack 60k miles, EU version, no codes and the only mod is an akrapovic exhaust (cat-back) and for a while i have been getting this rattle/resonance at 2300rpm up to 3000rpm, the exhaust mounts are fine, the flex cord is fine, what can it be? the floor is also vibrating when this happens and the vibration also takes place when i start up the car for a second
