Seat Ibiza cold start issue

I'm having some issues with my 2019 Seat Ibiza with a gasoline engine. It's got 92171 km on the clock. Recently, it's been hard starting, especially when cold. The engine runs really rough in the cold start phase. Could it be the fuel system?

Sounds familiar! I had similar cold start problems with my Ibiza. Have you tried injector cleaning? It might be a fuel delivery issue.

Interesting. How did you know it was fuel-related? Did you experience the same poor engine running at cold starts?

Yes, exact same symptoms. Rough running and hard starting when cold. Eventually, the issue got worse. A mechanic checked it out and said it was the injection valve injector defective. I'd recommend getting yours checked at a workshop.

Took it to the workshop as you suggested. Turns out it was a faulty cold start injector. They replaced it, and the hard starting issue is gone. Cost me about 515€, but at least it's fixed. Thanks for the advice!
