jamwatn Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 An update: I've changed the camshaft position sensor which has solved the cutting out totally. It however starts REALLY badly. Sometimes cranking of 15/20 seconds is needed. The engine will hunt and wobble for some time however once down the road a mile, it runs perfectly. Any ideas? I'd have to fork out loads of money to get it back to the trader and take time off work and its pretty much not an option. My instinct says injector fault but the car drives so smoothly that it seems less likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like it could be one or more of the glow plugs or associated systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamwatn Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I didnt think glow plugs heated in a tdci till the ambient temperature was very cold? It also does it even if the engine has been run for an extended period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
