2004 2.0l dCi Starting problem
Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 5:21 pm
Hi,
Had this car for a couple of months now, starting was a sequence of:
- Depress clutch, press start button, dash lights up, curly glow plug symbol lights, car starts after a short delay
until a week ago, now:
- Depress clutch, press start button, dash lights up, no glow plug symbol, no start.
- Do this repeatedly, the starter may turn briefly, symbol lights up for a second, but still no start.
Interestingly:
- Depress brake pedal, press and hold start button, car starts, release button.
Any ideas?
Glow plugs were replaced just before purchase by previous pwner.
Regards,
Leo
