you saw one case now... it's the 3'rd i see when the glow plugs had to be removed to restore easy cranking after unnecessary throttle usage ... i dont recommend to anybody to touch the throttle on a Td5 while cranking if it wasnt empty and IMO if it starts with the throttle it would have started without it too
It can be a crank signal failure or ECU topside switch fault or who knows what.... you need a proper diagnose with tester for that
youve got issues if cylinders are filling and its not even trying to fire and your still turning it over, a system with air in it can benefit with some pedal in an attempt to start, air in the system if thats the issue gives an attempt to fire which full pedal helps
I agree, but that's the case only if the rail was emptied or it draw plenty of air for some reason not after a filter change or other several failed starting attempts with purged system....which was the case here,..... that's what RAVE states as well
if there were no attempts to fire i would be looking further than air for the reason, that purge or other wont help with
Had it diagnosed, by an auto elec mentioned earlier only has a cruise control fault, also i changed the crank sensor...only thing really noticeable about it now, is alot of diesal spraying out of oil cap, investigate further today more than likley chuffing injectors...
