When I bought my tdi in 98 cylinder glazing was the most complained about problem with them,the reason was that the synthetic oil that was standard back then wouldn't let the rings bed in.My engine was still using oil at 40k so I changed to penrite and haven't looked back.As posted above,wait a minute at start-up but from then on drive or stop.It is a very common problem on engines that are run without load.
