Hi all
so my Leon cupra R has been bullet proof for 20 years, but now I’m running into starting issues.
to begin with she just stopped starting, turned out it was a fuel pump. I installed a new one from demon tweeks. This was fitted by an Indy garage and once running has never been so smooth.
but since the new fuel pump the start up of the car is a little bit of a struggle, she doesn’t fire straight away, almost like she is struggling to get fuel and then sometimes as she starts she is choking a bit, like she has a little too much fuel. She will normally turn over within 2-3 rotations But why would the starting be different suddenly?
speaking to the garage they want to flow test the injectors, is this sensible and cost effective?
is it likely the injectors are the culprit and would it be cheaper just to source four new ones and fit myself (Anyone done this? Looks straight forward)
thanks for hands on experience.
