Help!!!
For the last three months my 2010 1.6 hdi 133k has been in and out of various garages with a fault on starting from hot.
First of all I was driving along and my battery light came on. The garage replaced my alternator and my battery and ever since then the car has problems starting from hot and to be honest it’s not as great as it was prior to the battery light coming on from cold either.
The van will turn over great and strong but can take up to 20-30 secs to fire. Once it’s running it’s great.
The things that have been done/replaced are:
Battery (twice!)
Alternator
Starter motor
Glow plugs
Crank sensor
Fuel pipes on top of the engine as they thought there was a leak drawing air into the fuel system.
Fuel pressure test of some kind
Fuel filter replacement
No fault codes present now and everyone’s scratching their heads!
I’ve spent around £700 and considering setting fire to the thing.
I need this van for work and I’m using my other half’s Clio to run a plumbing business so any help would be great - I’m not mechanically minded so take it easy on me ?
Thankyou
