Peugeot 207 engine problem when cold starting

Hello. I have a 2008 Peugeot 207 with a gasoline engine and 138,423 km on the odometer. The car is difficult to start when cold (after standing for 6-8 hours), often only starting on the 2nd, 3rd, or even 6th attempt. It starts, but immediately shuts off. A mechanic installed Bosch spark plugs and ignition coils about 4 months ago, and the problem has been present ever since. Before that, it had NGK spark plugs. Now we've switched back to NGK spark plugs, but the problem persists. When warm, it starts fine, and I don't hear any unusual noises from the engine. Several mechanics have looked at it, but they haven't found any faults and don't know what the problem might be. They checked all kinds of pressures, which were fine, and also ran software diagnostics, but nothing changed. I don't know what to do anymore. Thank you in advance for your help.

A 2008 Peugeot 207 is experiencing difficulty starting when cold, often requiring multiple attempts. The issue began after Bosch spark plugs and ignition coils were installed, but persists even after switching back to NGK spark plugs. Mechanics have been unable to diagnose the problem despite checking pressures and running diagnostics. A suggested solution is to check the battery voltage in the morning, as a weak battery could contribute to starting issues.

Check the battery voltage first thing in the morning before starting the car. A weak battery can cause starting issues, especially in colder conditions. If the voltage is below 12.4 volts, consider having the battery tested or replaced. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions.
