Hi Everyone
My 2000 1.9 tdi Bammy has never been a very good starter, especially if it's been sitting all weekend.
Last Autumn I replaced the battery in preparation for winter and I've recently replaced the glowplugs.
Even so, if it's been sitting for 48 hours or so it still takes about 4-5 turns of the starter motor before it fires up.
Is there a way of testing the rail that attaches to the top of the glowplugs?
When I removed it, some of the plastic surrounds broke off but the metal contacts seem to click onto the plugs well enough.
Any advice is most welcome
Tully
