Diesel techy question

Xtremeteam:

--- Quote from: "thermidorthelobster" ---Long shot, but an earthing fault could be leading to a voltage drop across the injectors when the starter motor's turning over?  Ditto the fuel pump?
--- End quote ---

300tdi have mech injectors

Porny:
Also check....

The lift pump is working correcty (check the fuel filter is full)

Check the engine timing - if the injector timing is retarted it will struggle to start.  Has anyone fitted  cam belt recently?   Incorrect cam timing will also cause problems.

Check the valve/tappet clearance.  If the valves don't open fully you can suffer poor starting.

Check the earth too.... run a jump lead from the battery straight to the engine.
