Recently, my 2.4TD has been difficult to start first thing in the morning. I sometimes have to crank it for 15-20 seconds until it starts. It seems to be fine starting from warm.
I suspect the glowplugs need changing. A colleague of mine put a voltmeter on one and there was an output, so it seems as though it's getting power to them.
Now my question...
Is it worth taking the car to a Fiat dealer for them to diagnose the problem? Would they be able to tell me which plugs were stuffed, so that I only need replace the defective ones?
One thing which might be relevant - the injector light stays on for two or three minutes after I've started up. However, it's been doing this for over a year now, so I don't know if it could be related.
Anyone constructive comments would be appreciated!!
