first cold start of the day
Hello all,
having a few problems with our 2004 d5 xc90. the first start of the day temp has been below -3 the car takes about 3 attempts to start. the starter is spinning quickly as usual so its not the battery. just as it tries to fire up it dies. once it has been started and driven less than a mile it will start first time every time really well. we always wait for all the lights to go out on the dash before starting. the other morning car said engine service urgent when the mrs went out in it after it struggling to start, this has since cleared will any codes be stored? am i off the mark thinking glow plugs? i say this because after every failed attempt to start the glow plug light come on for a few seconds again. Thanks |

Get a leak off test on your injectors first, theres a good chance one or two have gone down. glow plugs are not really a common fault.

Yeah a good garage will have some kind of kit to do it. The cold start issue with injectors dont always cause a running issue. Its the first test i do for a cold start issue on the D5 engine.
