Got people coming to view my golf and it decides to play up...help?!
 

So my car is being a massive pain?! It's up for sale due to the arrival of my scooby, and I've got people who've arranged to come see it tomorrow, so a couple of days ago it decides to labour before starting, it can take one or two goes, or 5 or 6 there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason. Doesn't make a difference if its hot or cold, full of fuel or near empty.
Once its started it drives perfectly, smooth and runs as normal without any hiccups so I'm confused as to the cause of the starting issue?
Took a video of it one of the times:

I changed the starter motor not that long ago as the one i had was whinning. In the past couple of days have tried changing the fuel filter and fuel pump relay as my best guess has been fuel starvation. Checked the batteries output and its fine, my friends garage put it on a fault code reader and its throwing up low voltage codes anybody got any ideas or similar symptoms..I'm desperate!? Timing couldn't be worse!!! :sad:

Coil pack/spark plugs/glow plugs? (dependant on fuel/engine etc)

its the 1.8 turbo engine, had new spark plugs in october so they should be ok.
how can i check the coil pack and glow plugs? Lol, diagnosing car issues is not my strong point!

won't have glow plugs, as its not a diesel and has spark plugs.

:)

Awesome, thank you, handily have another golf here so will be borrowing a coil pack off of that will hopefully eliminate each individual coil pack as i go..all before mid morning when the people arrive!! Lol, love cars?!

might be coolant temp sensor mate.

Alternator if its showing low voltage??

ps. I am not a mechanic, just a thought.
