Difficult start when left in the sun

Post by Ephedrase »

Hello, :)
i've been having trouble getting started for a while now BUT ONLY when I leave work :shrug:
that is to say when the sun beat down on it all day from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The cold morning (or in the evening) the car starts directly

So when I try to start it's as if the starter was turning over 15 times before managing to start the engine.
then after starting it holds the engine idle at 2000 rpm then goes down normally :eyepop:

once that passed, car work welll.

car info:
Direct injection gasoline engine (TSI 1.4 122 CAXA from 2010)
new: timing chain kit, accessory belt, 4 spark plugs, oil filter, air filter
alternator and starter ok
battery I don't know but it is 3 years old.
fed with SP98+

I also have: (not related or psychological)? :hyper:
anormally high fuel consumption (8.5L/100 instead of 7L/100)
gasoline smell in the cabin but nothing under the car

What do you think it is?
thanks :yes:

i've made a video :
