ever sat in the back yard or garden and notice in some corners it collects debri from a wind trap location (manifold design ) i am not here to argue but i can relate back on 40 degree day where my glow plugs are not needed and i suffer the same symptoms of the OP

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

no **** blame the engineers who designed the cylinder head so the questions about number 5 cylinder does this warm as quick on cold starts and why it doesnt need a glow plug ? and length of time they are are on for to get the engine up to operating temps (emissions )

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 ? what ever happened to the good old heating element inside the air intake found on some larger...

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...

it funny because i service my own for many years i only give a slight nip on a short handle using 3/8 drive ratchet and then i need a 1/2 inch drive to remove the sump plug ? we have two different types metal reacting to different temps and this relates to distortion using a knuckle bar on an...

with out the correct anti seize its normal for alloy threads to pick up very easy all it takes is some dirt or corrosion for a thread to pick up and strip on removal

not hard to remove ...you will one day need to remove it for an oil cooler reason .... its only 4 bolts that holds the air con compressor and move this to one side you will see the bigger picture and then realise how easy its to remove the oil spinner some people forget this is a serviceable...

some times common sense goes along way the post was very vague along with your reply's while you where worrying about a water leak it had been stated this was least of your problems by many members..... if you couldn't see the belt was out of alignment when you took the pic there is...

but i wanst to for from the mark about a water pump destruction and who ever fitted the belt should of noticed this from the beginning as it normal practice to spin pulleys and listen for any abnormal noises as well as play before fitting a new belt

wrong size belts installed or both belts have been mixed up looks like some one may of possibly changed the 10 by 605 belt to a shorter belt by passing the water pump while the other pulley drives an auxiliary looking at one of the belts it looks new the water leak should not to be to hard...

is this a wind up ?

i was born in the UK we used red diesel in some of our engines being in the refrigeration and trucking game as well as a agriculture ....still never needed to put petrol or kero into diesel as the winter temps are no where near as finland ...... i ran my vauxhall for many years on red with...

i understand you dont have any petrol in your system but didnt you say Here in cold north we sometimes add petrol to diesel to run them in extreme cold temperatures if winter diesel is not available and they run fine with a few litres of petrol per tank. petrol may stop diesel from gelling up...

you see manufactures of stabilising oils has been well looked into and allot of research to be more refined unfortunately there is cost ..adding in small amount of petrol like the old days into a diesel may work ..what about long term affects? ........welcome from a guy who works...

i would have to disagree running petrol mixed with diesel ? the diesel is also a lubrication for injection components adding in petrol good luck seriusly if the temps are that cold to add in petrol to diesel to thin it out ......what about the the engine oil being to thick for the hydraulic...

unless its already has a blanking plate ..not to sure why they used silicon to plug the holes as its just as easy to disconnect the electronic solenoids mine are long gone i wish i saved them for a day like this not many people understand the EGR system there is a EGR valve seat as well as...

if the head was warped it could have a fracture most cylinder head shops can pressure check them have experienced something similer on a truck engine diesel engines not petrol .... to rule out the block and engine liners if installed you will have to remove the engine oil and sump...
