On these cold morning, did you wait until the "glow plug light" - (a coil type symbol), goes out before you trying starting the car - ideally they need to preheat before starting the car - takes a few seconds
if you are thinking of fitting new glow plugs and controller, read up on this site before doing the work yourself I have one plug recording an error - car normally starts first time, but yesterday I noticed that the glow plug light came on when I switched the ignition on (Also the same with our 68 plate X1 diesel - again first thing in the morning glow plug light came on, which is normal in cold weather - start car when light goes out as with all diesel engines) The worrying thing on your 320 is that if you have one glow plug down, (looks like No 4?), the car will probably not regen automatically - (this is reported on the Forum) Last edited by Bluewater335D; 11-05-2019 at 12:55 PM.. |

Extended cranking could just as easily be a leaking injector. A good garage will be able to monitor the fuel rail pressure, but you'll have to leave the car there for them to have a look from a true cold start. If rail pressure is slow to build then an injector leak off measurement can be performed to establish which injector(s) are worst.
I personally cannot see one duff glow plug causing extended cranking time. |
