Hi folks
Got a 2003 Ibiza TDi SE 100 PD.
Not sure if I got a problem on the way but last few days my car getting worse at starting, as it been starting with a bit of splutter.
With the cold and snow last couple of days, I have waited for the glow plug light to go out before starting, however its still spluttered like mad until i have given the engine a couple of revs up to 2K. It then runs fine after and will start fine for rest of day.
The car has only done 26,500 miles, last 6,500 mostly motorway and was serviced 1,500 mile ago.
Has anyone had any similar problems. Do you think its worth investing in some new glow plugs or is there something more sinister lurking, that people know about with this engine?
I know the power steeing light has come on twice in the last week, but that clears when you restart engine so I assume its the damp in the electrical connector as mentioned in another thread. Could this be happening with starting system?
