Hey guys, having some issues with my car it's an 03 bam Leon cupra r and if I leave it for more than 12 hours it struggles to start. Can take from 5 to 20 attempts to get it started. If I leave it for several days it's so much worse, can take 25 to 50 goes to get started and backfires a lot at first.
Recently changed the spark plugs.
Here is a video I took today after it had sat for about 17 hours. Note that at 55 seconds which is the 4th attempt it shows a slight sign of life. Then around 2min mark attempt 7 I think it shows a little more life. Then attempt 8 at about 2m23sec it finally starts.
Once started it drives alright and starts fine up to 10 hours later. Though occasionally there is a lag in boost pressure picking back up when wot and changing gear.
Also note a horrible buzzing this car has when idle or driving under 30mph. Don't notice it at higher speed.
