Timing Belt Repercussions?

(1/3) > >>

Timbob:
I was hoping for your opinions on a recent problem please. The timing belt on my wifes 300tdi went.Anyway, new rockers and pushrods later, all apparently ok. Vehicle delivered on trailer, was running when I went out to see. Next morning landy was hard to start. Lots of turning over before it fired. After that it ran fine. Easy to start when hot. Next morning, same difficulties. On investigation it remained running when switched off, removing stop solonoid wire has no effect, i.e. did not stop the engine running. It stopper itself after a few minutes. I have got a new solonoid on the way which I assume will fix the problem. It is just the proximity of the timingbelt going that bothers me. It was a good starter previously. Any ideas?
Thanks All

Range Rover Blues:
Check the glowplugs are working for the starting problem.

Running on with the ignition off, hmmm.  Check that the wire to the solenoif does indeed become dead without the ignition as a simple answer,  otherwise I'd want to know what's been fixed whilst it was away.

There's a plunger, spring, and seal inside the fuel cut-off solenoid. If your pump has done a few miles there may be bits of swarf in the hole that the solenoid sits. Sounds to me like a delay in the pluger going back down to shut off the fuel supply.

Someone mentioed engine oil being drawn into the engine doing this as well. Check the state of your intercooler and hoses. Seen it on cars where there was enough oil in there to run the car. May also indicate an oil leak elsewhere if its got a fair load in.

Tommo:
sounds to me like the pump timing wants adjusting, thats the only thing that could affect cold starting to do with the cam belt going really.
