Hello Guys,
I have had my p38 around 8 months now and it has always taken a long time to start. The first thing i did was change the glow plugs, replaced them with Bosch ones and it didn't help the starting. I noticed there was air bubbles on the fuel line from the fuel filter to the engine, I got a mechanic to bleed it so there are no bubbles. I took it to a show the weekend and put £80.00 diesel in it and magically it started straight away even in the morning when she was cold. then after I drove it and used the fuel were back to square one and its taking long to start....... Any ideas?


Thank
Luke
 
Weak in tank Pump or leaky Spill (Leak Off) Pipes....

Poor Starting performance on less than 1/4-1/3 tank is usually In Tank Lift Pump

Had the same problem : in tank pump eventually packed in : I replaced it and problem continued. Replaced the spill/leak pipes....problem solved permanently. Using the floor access method pump is dead easy : leak pipes also.
