not unlikely ...happened to me too and to others
AFAIK it's only one correct type and that's given by the LR part number not by other search so as long as it's ERR6066(can be any brand) and sold by dedicated LR parts shop it's good for all Td5s no matter what P engine it is, generic shops can mix them up yes
mine does this also even on a hot day 40 degrees and is intermittent ever since i ran i injector cleaner through the system so i can rule out glow plugs ..up to now i have have closed in on the injectors as i suspect have one leaking number 3 and depends when the engine comes to rest for a length of time only and position of the cam shaft pushing down on that injector for long periods when the engine is turned offBeen having a seeminy intermitant starting issue fot the past few weeks.
Started when we where at the foot of the Pryenees on a cold morning. Went to start and the engine "turned over" but was chugging, rough idle and just didnt sound happy. Ran like this for a few seconds then died.
No fault codes, no lights, no smoke. Try again and starts happily as if nothing is wrong, runs perfectly well too.
Doesnt happen often, mostly when the landy is very cold so have been keeping it garaged and it sarts in there zero issues.
Been trying to catch it on video but everytime I go to record it starts fine!
Battery is fine reading a healthy 14.2v on the volt meter
Crank sensor is genuine LR and less than a year old
Injector balances are within the norm
Touch of white smoke on start up occasionally
MAF ideally needs changing (reading 54ish on nano) however reluctant to change as been through 3 in 2 years (all VDO/Siemens)
MAP recently cleaned
AF recently cleaned (pipercross)
EGR blanked
Injector harness gen LR roughly 18 months old
Not checked ECU red plug yet but was cleaned 2 years ago, so probs needs doing!
Can only suspect glow plugs maybe? Not sure what else
Cheers
its funny because the work shop Manuel doesn't explain why they installed 4 glow plugs on a 5 cylinder engine ? am i missing something and number 5 piston is redundant on start up and warm up periods ?Yes I understand their importance even after being told by numerous diesel specialists they're not needed
Read a few of your historical posts on other forums actually concerning td5 glow plugs
no **** blame the engineers who designed the cylinder head
i heard its coz the whole industry was based on the sale and demand of four plugs etc.......
what is this the twighlightzone so this means if one glow plug fails i need to buy four pack and not purchase them individual ......like we can purchase one injector at a time just saying
Good practice to swap all of em out even if just 1 fails. On any car
I think @KISSMYAURA had his tongue firmly in cheek there though
I dont want to argue either nor did i say that the glow plugs are the root of the OP's problem i just said that they must be ruled out as they are all shot, also if you have the same symptoms at 40*C you can't compare that completely with the OP cos he said in the first post
i also undderstand where your coming from fella
specially when its an intermittent issue and how many 4 glow plugs have the same intermittent issue all the same way
