1.5 dci slow start.

Postby Gazwould » Fri Dec 06, 2013 11:05 am

2006 , 106 bhp.

It's been going on for 9 months. Glow worms changed, no improvement.

Slow to start, hot or cold, slightly better hot.

Check for air in the transparent fuel pipe to the pump.

The fix depends on where the air is coming from. It can be a leak in the fuel system, which operates under negative pressure, or a problem with the return circuits from the injectors, which merge into the main system through a venturi pipe. Just have a look in the manual and investigate... In these engines problems with return pipes from the injectors are common. 1.9dci is far better, as its fuel system is made by Bosch.

We've already had a few years ago the O ring failure on the fuel return rail. Which causes it to urinate diesel on the road.

What a pile these Renono's are.
