The second problem on my 110 CSW 300tdi - starting!
I've just posted a thread on a brake problem - See here
She's never failed to start, but the first start of the day is always an issue!
She takes a good few turns to start and once she's started she's fine.
However, this appears to be getting worse!
Once she's eventually started the first time, she has very little power, doesn't rev well and will eventually cut out with about 30 seconds to a minute of starting. Then she'll start again, a little easier than the first time and will rev up fine and run fine.
I've replaced the glow plugs but that hasn't done anything.
Turning on the glow plugs 2 or 3 times before starting the engine doesn't make any difference either.
There is white smoke coming out of the exhaust on the first start but that soon clears.
Once started and having been run for a few minutes she will start up no problem.
If left for an hour or so it can still take half a turn or so before she'll start up, but once started there are no problems.
The previous owner also replaced the battery so I don't think it's that.
So, does anyone have any suggestion?
