Hi you all,
I'm Anna from Italy, I'm a ford fiesta's 1.4 tdci owner.
My fiesta was made in 2010.
Since november 2021 and still now, my fiesta has got a problem when starting, the car doesn't start.
This happens only in the afternoon when i have to come back home from work. 
This never happens in the morning even if it is very cold. 
I have already replaced the bactery, the glow plugs, the diesel filter, my mechanic has also tried to tighten the 
diesel pipes near the filter.
No solution, all these repairs had failed. 
Can someone help me?

    what did you use to read the DTC's ?

    Hand held generic code readers do not normally read Ford specific DTC's. As already said you need to use FORScan, it will be able to read the Ford codes and also give reasons.

    Then you need to find a real auto-electrician who knows how to use "FORScan"

    https://forscan.org/download.html

    It is impossible to have an EML on and there be no DTC.
