Hi guys
well after sorting my EPB issues it seems the next in line is rearing its head
she has had a splutter on start up for a couple of months as if one or two plugs have failed
yesterday and tnis morning I had to crank to start
she was aslo a bit sluggish for a couple of minutes but it was minus 2
all good when warm goes like it should
so ive read all the horror stories in regard to glow plug removal issues
question is is it always the plugs or other potential fuel related problem .?
dont fancy changing the plugs and shearing any so may jut fit the FBH remote
any comments all
thanks
Phil

Diagnostic tool that gives you live value for injector balance. Here via IID for when I was getting injector errors 18 months ago. Further away from 1,000 (either side) the more worn the injector.

It is a direct injected diesel, will always start without glow plugs. At very low temperatures with a little help from some ether or brake cleaner.

If you have a electric meter you can of course see if the glow plugs are ok or faulty
This is very easy,
Sound
if they are worn wouldnt I have start up issues as a constant all the time from cold whatever the time of year ?
