Hello Martin,
I faintly remember that there was a common problem with Mk 5's having problems starting when warm (not cold). I can't remember if there was accompanying thumping noises upon starting. As I never had this problem with my Mk 5 I never looked into it further but if you do a few Google searches you might be able to find more info.
Sorry I can't be more help,
Stuart
