I have an issue on my Fiat Punto 1.3 Diesel 2004, it takes a long time to start on a cold morning can take a minute and a few tries to get it going, it was fine while it was warmer.
Once it has been started and driven around it will continue to start and run fine with no driving issues that day, its just in the morning it will struggle to start and seems to do this every day now, it has had a new battery too.
Some days I try first thing it doesnt start, I have then managed to start it abit later on around lunchtime, where the weather gets abit warmer.
I always wait for the glow plug light to go out, on colder mornings it does stay on a little longer then goes out as expected.
I am not getting any faults relating to glow plug light, but is it still possible it could require new glow plugs? or is there anything else it could be and worth checking?
Thanks for your help.
