--- Quote from: "drmike" ---I suppose it's a dumb question but air can get in and cause a problem via teh leak off rail? I believe the banjo connections for this are prone to coming loose - certainly I checked mine and they were really not quite tight enough and a friend had one fall off!

and also the small pipes that link the top of the injectors can split.

have you tried this link http://members.mud-club.com/library/?articleid=9 that a MC member put about adjusting the fuel pump or something. I am not technicaly minded. I just read what to do and do it!
It may sort out your cold starting. I may give it ago sometime.

Mark with some tipex or something where the current pump timing is set so when you muff it up you know where to put it back too. :wink:

HHMMMM!!!! I had heard about the timing tweak, but to be honest I am reluctant to fiddle with it for the time being in case i mess it up!!
I will try to have a look at the fuel lift pump (?) etc.
BTW, there is a audable "BZZZZT" buzzing noise when the ignition is on, like a electric toothbrush for want of a better description.....
What's that???
waveydavey:
That does sound like a spinning over problem or fuel supply rather than a engine problem.
You have not mentioned how it runs; if it runs well and gives the power when going I would not rush to tweak timing or anything.
An air leak on the fuel supply from the tank is quite feasible; once the engine is going the pump is going a lot faster and will keep up, if it's the spill rail it would not make much difference except possibly costing you fuel.
It sounds like a 300tdi, does that have a manual priming lever on the fuel lift pump as on the 200? If it has it may be worth popping the bonnet in the morning and manually operating it. If you shift a lot of fuel and it then starts you have found the problem, if it's still soild witha tight system then you know it's not the problem.
