Hi Everyone,
Fitted new engine at weekend to mk4 golf 1.6s the refitting included new plugs,h/t leads checked also fitted another coil pack!. The car is fairly difficult to start and is laboured but gets there in the end. I also seem to be getting a noise from the starter motor sticky solenoid I think from previous posts. Would this laboured start be down to the starter motor possibly? Battery if fine,have not checked earth lead/fan belt and wiring to starter motor was obviously checked when replaced at weekend!
I am baffled!! once started car if fine!!!
Any help would be welcomed!!!

Have you done a Voltage drop test on the battery? Cell gone in the battery?
