Check your coolant level in the header tank. 1.8 and 1.8T are prone to a weeping inlet manifold gasket, when the engine is cooling down/cold it allows a dribble of coolant into the inlet manifold which manifests itself with a rough idle on starting. Idle settles down once the coolant has burnt off.
