My car for the past 5 months has developed an intermittent starting problem. It cranks over approz 12 times before starting after the car has rested for a short duration of 20minutes or greater from a hot engine. When the car eventually starts, I notice that a cloud of white smoke indicating excessive fuel.
The engine start better in cold conditions, if the car has rested a longer duration, i.e. 8 hours or more.(still cranks over 3-4 times)
When the car start immediately when the engine is just been switched off and start 10/10 times.
Once running, the car runs superbly!!!
I had the car looked at by nuumber of people but with no answers or ideas, one of them being a diesel specilist, which they said it could only be the Injection Pump (££££). Though they cannot guarantee that it will fix the problem.
So far the following has been checked:
Glow Relay Circuit (Relay)
Glow Plugs
Leak Off Pipe
Tested for air in Fuel System.
Injection ECU Tested
No Fault Codes
