Robjw Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi All My focus seems to not like cold mornings anymore, it cranks over ok, and manages to fire up after a while, but it splutters and chugs into life and will not tick ove smoothley until its warmed up a little. Could it be glow plugs or fuel filter or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
refdt Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 On my old diesel I had it was doing something very similar and I replaced the glow plugs and put a new battery in and it did the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Diesel can go waxy in the fuel filter... They arent much to replace so always worth a go!! That and glow plugs, and check the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike77 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Deffo go for the glow plugs first, exactly the same symptoms with mine a few months back, similar age car too, and all was well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
