| A good bet is to replace them same time as the cam belt. Since the starter has to be taken off, the incremental time is small. If you get others to do the change, get the kit off eBay 1st and take it ... |

New Injectors don't solve the problem.
You know common rail pressure comes up just fine.
You know that the ECU is firing the injectors
I think you know that when it does fire , there is no lumpy ru ... |

Hi Ian
Glow plug light did come on a couple of days ago when we had snow and it was -2 outside but the issue was the same.
The old coolant sensor was checked when using an Autel scan tool and th ... |

You don't say whether you have to go through two start cycles , or whether it manages to start before timing out?
If on the first cycle , then you would have thought that the ECU has setup the parame ... |

You're seeing the rail pressure come up quickly, you see the injectors pulse. Starts fine hot but not when left to cool.
If you get white smoke on the delayed initial cold start that points to over f ... |

Can't imagine it's seized , put your yourself at ease , just turn a little by hand with a socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Check good volts , you can feel the solenoid pull in if you get someone ... |

Do you have the ability to monitor the fuel pressure in real time?
Be interesting to see how quickly it comes up on cranking, and it's decay rate if you stall the engine.

I'll vote for the crankshaft sensor.
The fuel tank does get pressurised by the fuel return. The tank is effectively sealed for emission reasons , but there is pressure relief valve to avoid over pres ... |
