Hello all
I have a 2001 1.4 Tdi which sometimes starts first turn and sometimes takes ages cranking the starter before the engine finaly comes into life.
Having assumed that the problem was with the glow plugs, I ordered a new set from AVS Car parts and have just replaced the old ones with the new ones.
Unfortunately, no joy!! The engine still needed cranking for 15/20 seconds before it finaly started.
It is more problematic if it has been parked overnight in the rain or if it has been particularly cold and I have never had any problem with it starting after it has been first started each day (i.e. after the first time that it has been started, it is fine for say 10 hours)
Any ideas??
Best Regards
