2001 110CDi - Starting Problems - DJ Whizz
Hi All I wonder if anyone can help me please I have a 2001 Merc Vito 110CDI. I have problems with starting the van at the moment I initially thought it was something to do with the glow plugs as the light was staying on after ignition however I have had glow plugs changed but I'm finding that the van will start then if I turn it off and try to start again it will turn over but not fire!! If I take the van on a run and get it warm it does start. This morning I got up tried to start it and no chance (it wouldnt even fire when my brother in law towed me!!) Anyone got any ideas please please please. cheers Matt

{don't worry, I'll put the year/engine details in the subject header for you. Getting used to this now that I've already done 1000+ other threads because no one bothers to read the sticky messages or the other prompt under the subject header when they compose their question!}

Be prepared for a big wallet buster! the more than likley trouble is the injectors leaking back, extremly common on this van.

If my memory serves me right I think 4 work out about 2K at merc's. They need to be tested first for right diagnosis & faulty ones replaced. You may find a independant diesel specialist who can fix.
