300tdi starting problems
« on: November 29, 2007, 19:54:26 »
My friend has a problem with his 300tdi, the truck came in to the
workshop with two problems 1:starting when cold and loud ticking
noise from injector pump. 2:cam belt gone!!!!
result, new short engine from turners and after what would have cost less
buying a new turn key engine and replacing all from turbo to injector pump, he still has this proplem starting when cold!
so we are thinking electrical proplem?
any ideas, is this a common problem?

we could go down the whole battery route again...

earthing, glow plugs arent usually required unless its REALLY brass monkeys... maybe a fuelling problem.. any veg oil in the tank by chance... also what happened to the old engine~?  :wink:

To be fair that sounds like an injector pump problem to me. Remove it and have it professional checked.
