Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / December 2005Cold Start Problems: Peugeot Partner Diesel Van
My Peugeot Partner Diesel Van (1868CC, year 2000 model, 121,000mls) has just started having cold start problems on frosty mornings. Once it starts it run OK for the rest of the day (not buring oil and fuel economy is still OK). Changed the glow plugs and local garage checked it out overnight but found nothing obvious wrong with it. Mechanic has advised that it could be "tight tappets" and has advised taking it to the Peugeot dealer. Anybody experienced the same problems and can offer any ideas etc??

Tried operating the pre heaters three times in the past before attempting to start the engine but it still takes about 30 seconds to fire the engine. It struggles for about 20 seconds and then finally catches and fires up. Once it is fired up and going it works ok for the rest of the day. The temperature has to be less than 0 degrees before it causes problems. If it is not freezing then it fires up within 10 seconds. It has only started doing it within the past three weeks.

Possible things to think (worry) about are air leaks into the fuel line (Has it had a service or fuel filter change recently?) and the old wagon drivers problem of freezing diesel. (Ok I know it only goes slushy and I'd say it was about as likely as it having rabies, but you never know if one of the pipes is very exposed) djimbo. |
