mintalkin Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 even if the glow plugs light comes on and then goes out the plugs may not be working, it would be the first thing to get checked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahwah69 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Ah right , makes sense ta !! Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preee Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It could be a fuel problem , either no fuel getting through , blocked filter , failed pump. Is there someone who can check you have fuel coming through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Could also be the coil pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvfbill Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Coil pack on a diesel ! Live and learn I suppose. Didnt think a diesel would have a coil pack which I thought fed the spark plugs. Please inform me if otherwise. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Could also be the coil pack Er nope. ;) The glow plugs may be in need of changing and I'd also suggest checking that the fuel filter is clean and also the filter housing for air leaks. A pinched filter seal can let air in and cause fuelling problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan_M Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 You may be able to hear fueling problems, listen to it prime its self at key position 2, if it sounds leigbored it could be the pump,filter or air in the system, have a listen.
