Hi guys,
Have a weird problem going on here, it started last friday I have a 2.0 JTD Diesel , done 130,000 on the clock.
27 Nov - Struggled to Start but after a few tries the car went (Temp outside: 4c)
28 Nov - Wouldnt start RAC came out and said there was a fault on the glow plug/heater circuits and it started with a sniff of easystart. (Temp outside: 3c)
29 Nov - Took 2 attempts then started fine. (Temp outside: 3c)
30 Nov - Kicked in first time no problems (Temp Outside: 2c)
1 Dec - Dosent want to start at all this morning, and RAC wont come out again *help!* (Temp Outside: -3c)
However once the car is started, it works fine for the rest of the day.
I had the diagnostics done on the car yesterday and the guy said everything is in working order, pressures and everything are perfect. Althought there was a logged entry that the Glow Plugs or Glow plug relay had a fault but its not there now.
Ive been quoted £230 to change the glow plugs and the relay but I just wonder if anyone else has had the same problem and does it sound like the plugs or the relay or both? any ideas would be greatly appreciated before I part with £230 which I dont really know will fix it. :bang::bang::bang:
Thanks
