[Engine] Hot starting issue
#1
Berlingo Van 1.6 hdi 2012.

Can anyone help me please. I have an issue where my van is a pain to start when the engine is hot, it turns over loads, and I mean loads of times before it eventually starts up. I’ve renewed the starter motor, battery, high pressure fuel regulator, glow plugs, fuel filter, air filter, crank position sensor, but I still have the issue. It starts fine when it’s cold and only seems to happen when the engine has warmed u. I’ve ordered a fuel leak off test kit so planning on doing that this weekend to see if the injectors are playing up. The van drive lovely once started. If I bump start it then it fires up almost immediately. No fault codes or engine light showing at all.

Anyone had this issue before?? Please help as I love my van and don’t want to get another one.

When you say you haven't got any fault codes, what are you using to read the codes, a diagbox type set up or a generic code reader, if the latter then they don't work that well on PSA group vehicles?

Assuming you are using a good code reader has the vehicle got any other faults/symptoms?

I stand corrected, I’ve just spoken to my mate who says it does have a fault that says low pressure at the rail. I’m going to scan it again at the weekend to see if I can find out anymore information and why it’s saying that
