406 tdi 2.1

Post by roverv8 »

hi, my pug has a problem, :shock:
from cold it refuses to start with out a fight then when it fires up its dies stright away with foot on accelorator, do it again after lots of turns it fires up lots of black smoke and like its missing, rev it and it clears it self, its as if the glow plugs not working just turning over an over, ive put a test light on one of the plugs and there's power to them, all four glow plugs have been changed new fuel filter and battery on saturday,
car was ok before i left to stand in my garage for last four months with no mot as i had another vehicle to use,
went to drop my boy to cadets to night got home turned off engine (remember its now hot) but refused to start more turning over then she fired up bit more glow plugs to,
any ideas :cry:

It's an idea. If it was something to do with the glow plugs then it would be blowing out white smoke (unburnt diesel).
