Hi,
Had my 08 plate TDi 170 for about 6 weeks.
It's been starting fine, but this morning it failed to start. Just the starter motor going around, no attempt to turn over. Like a petrol engine starved of petrol almost.
Eventually (after 4 minutes of trying) it spluttered into life with a rough idle at 1000rpm. It carried on like this for a mile or so down the road and then turned into its normal self.
Other then a very quick flash of an ESP Fault on the dash (probably related to turning the car on and off trying to start it) no faults showed on the dash.
Any ideas? Glow Plugs? Seems off though as this morning wasn't especially cold.
From warm it starts fine and obviously I can't test it cold again yet.
Thanks.
