Hello all,
I am having very big problems with my car at the moment, I will try describe as best as I can what is happening and what I have done to try resolve it so far.
So first a bit of background, the other day the car began to start to run roughly and struggle to start, turned out to be the glow-plugs so I changed these and then it still failed to start correctly and when I took the fuel filter housing off and examined the fuel filter it was very clogged so I changed the filter.
So now the car has new glow plugs and new fuel filter but it still struggles to run correctly. What happens is the car idles roughly(both when cold and warm) Also when the car is running it will suddenly loose all power and die. It also struggles to accelerate when doing this and dropping gear does nothing to help.
I have also changed the injectors tonight as someone said that could be the cause on my other thread, but even though I have done this it is still the same.
I will try get a video if that would help better.
I am lost now as to what it could be and it is really getting to me now as the car is undrivable due to it cutting out all the time.
Thanks
Dan
