  • Cold Start - No Start

    First thing in the morning, especially when its colder engine will just wind over but not start.

    If you get in first thing turn the key to on and wait 30 seconds and then turn off and on again and wait 30 seconds then repeat once more then engine will start. For the rest of the day engine will start normally with no issue first go. Engine runs smooth as also.

    Replaced Glow Plugs and Auto Electrician has tested everything and says it all looks fine.

    Very frustrating. Any ideas or testing?

    Sounds like the glow plugs aren't glowing. Are you getting power to the glow plugs?

      Do you wait until the glow plug light goes off on the dash before you start? This allows time for the fuel pump to reach pressure too - but then I may be just making that up.

        Could possibly have too low a voltage glow plugs fitted
        I would pull them out and test them direct from the battery

          As far as getting power to them yes they are definitely getting power to them. You can here the relay also.

            As far as if the right ones are fitted I have heard this. Is there a way to tell what should be in them. The mechanic reckoned he replaced them with what was in there. The reason they were replaced was because of this issue we thought must be glow plugs.

              What voltages should I have at the glow plug for testing?
