Hi guys,
I have, what I believe to be, and issue with my cupra.
On a completely cold startup I hear a whirr. This only happens the 1st time I turn the car on after its been sitting a while.

I have a video with a sound clip of the startup and was hoping someone might be able to give and hints as to what it might be? I have it booked in to get looked at but wanted to see if anyone has had this? Unfortunately the mic on my phone isn't the loudest so you may have to turn your volume up or wear headphones but its much louder in person.

If it's the short one at the start then it's normal. Pretty much every Leon does this that I've heard. It's the oil pressure IIRC.

This has happened with every Leon Ive owned. At first I was worried but it’s perfectly normal. Cancel your visit to the dealer and enjoy the extra time driving the car.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Its the one that starts at around 3 seconds in, yea.
Sounds a bit "unhealthy" and i hadn't heard it on any cold start videos, but thanks for putting my mind at ease.
