4018Andy Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hi all, I have a 59 plate 2.0 tdci which will only start after 7-10 attempts. It has already been to the garage and there were no diagnostics and fuel pressure was fine. It has 70k on the clock and always fully serviced. At the garage they did a re calibration which worked for a day but now back to poor starting. There is no issue once started and engine running normal. Any ideas? Thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Is it worse when its very cold outside? or does it not matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4018Andy Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Doesn't seem to matter. Even after a warm engine then off it can struggle but inconsistent. I heard of an air valve flap that maybl cause a prob but the garage said that was okay, not sure if they did look though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
137699 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 DMF issue - very common on the TDCi. Most owners live with it - fixing it is £expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
