csedgbeer Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi All got a 2.2dci nissan primera which has a real issue starting, with a cold engine it will sit there with the starter motor turning over for a good 3 attempts and say 10 seconds each. once it's running it's fine, no issues at all if i stop it even after just 5 mins or a very short drive, it will then start again after about 2-3 seconds turning over. let it go totally cold again, i.e when i leave work for home and it takes 30 seconds again battery doesn't appear to struggle or starter motor slow down when it's turning over this has only started doing it over the past couple of days, before that it would start at the turn of the key done an ECU reset but no difference, glowplugs maybe?, any pointers on what to check? many thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hi Chris....welcome to the Forum It sounds like a classic case of faulty glow plug(s), I would have them checked for resistance and replace the faulty one(s)...shouldn't be too expensive Cheers Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
