Hi
I’ve been away for 7 weeks and before then my 2007 panda multijet diesel started perfectly.
Today I turned the engine using my jumpstart device and after 4 or 5 cranks it didn’t start before the jumpstarters battery was flat. Normally it should fire up on 2 to 3 cranks.
I’m gonna recharge my car battery overnight so will give it another go tomorrow morning. But ignoring the battery is it normal to take several cranks to start a diesel after 7 weeks without use? Or could it be a serious engine fault?
