I recently bought a 96 model yr 300tdi 90. with 105k on the clock. It is a pig to start and always has been. Since i have owned it i have been through the entire fuel system, new filters, new lift pump, injector pump off and serviced, injectors tested, fuel lines tested for leaks and yet still starting problem persists. It is only the first start of the day when it needs a really good crank, thereafter, for the rest of the day it starts on first flick of the key but problem returns the next morning.
When running it is a bit flat at the bottom range but otherwise a very good runner with plenty of turbo boost. Timing belt has also bee replaced and timing is bang on.
Any thoughts?
