1.9 D. Starting difficulties.

[Paul Rodgers]

Sudden starting issues . Hard to start and misfires for a couple of minutes before running smoothly . No loss of power and runs smoothly.  Hot starting fine.

Only thing which seems to be a coincidence was that the fuel tank was topped up , about 16 ltrs, to full the previous day. Filling station has not had any problems reported regarding issues with diesel.

Hi my first port of call would be to get the vehicle scanned for fault codes that could well give you an insight as to what's going on, I think the fuel fill could well be a coincidence but other than that it could be a blocked fuel filter, glow plugs or a sensor, hence the scan.
