i40 Cold Start Problem

My 2015 Hyundai i40 with a gasoline engine has only 30121 km, but I'm having cold start issues. The engine runs poorly when cold and struggles to start. Could it be a faulty cold start injector?

Hey, I had similar problems with my i40. Rough idling and hesitant starts when the engine was cold. Have you tried any injector cleaner additives? Might be worth a shot before tearing things apart.

Did you see a big improvement with the injector cleaner, or did the problem continue? Did you see any engine misfire codes during the cold start?

The cleaner helped a little, maybe smoothed things out slightly, but the problem didn't really go away. No engine misfire codes, though. Honestly, it sounds like a defective injector. I bit the bullet and went to a workshop, they confirmed it. Worth getting it checked properly.

I took your advice and saw a mechanic. They agree it's a defective injector. The repair will cost about 515€.
