sorry.. hard to give this a title!
2.0 hdi 2004/5 blingo.
i was told when i first bought my blingo to wait for dashboard readout to show mileage, i.e. after oil level is show.
mine takes between 30 secs and a minute to do so.
i only ever had petrol citroens before so i took the mechanics advice.
1: should it be slow?
2: if no.. any idea why?
thanks.

There is no reason why you should wait unless he was trying to get you to wait for the glowplugs to complete their heating cycle . It is not always required unless really cold weather

I find with our 03 2.0Hdi if I go straight to the start when I turn the key the starter turns slower. I always have the heater blower running and that runs slow then speeds up as well. It's only a few seconds but once the heater blower speeds up then the starter turns over faster as well. I just turn the switch to the first position while I fit my seat belt and all is well.
So where does this bit go then ?
