...please help!
My HDI is very difficult to start so changed glowplugs and still is hard to start, also has cut out about 6 times always when going up hill and always in 4th pushing 40mph+ the whole engine just cuts out and i have to wait a few mins then bump it
I found that if i prime it 5/6 times it will eventually start up, sometimes it will start up straight away...
Once its going it idles fine and runs ok, just drove for about 20mins with no issues, occasionally feels a tad sluggish at top of 1st and 2nd, 3rd and 4th are ok car drives generally ok if i take it really steady
Fuel pump works ok as i can hear it when i switch on ignition
So had a poke around some of the threads and im thinking i should clean the FPR or maybe its the fuel pump? also possibly the brown relay behind the ECU..??
Any suggestions? I need to get to work tomorrow and its a 60mile round trip up and down hills too maybe i should just use public transport *shudder*
Any help and advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers
