Hi everyone, just after some other opinions if poss..
The car is as title, 56 plate - have owned it since 68,000 miles, now on 110,000. Early on during this mileage period, the car decided not to start very well and it's been the same ever since. No engine lights on, I did replace all glow plugs a while back also. It's just finally got very annoying.
It's marintlly worse in colder weather and very occasionally it takes a good 5 mins of intermittent cranking before it will cough, splutter and start. Sometimes you just need to keep the key turned as it goes to start to help it along a bit until it picks up its own momentum.
After some research I'm thinking this is either a clogged EGR valve or maybe a MAF sensor?
Anyone agree or have any other ideas? Was going to try EGR first.
