pigeonbasher1 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 looking very much like glow plug issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge911 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 yep could be you got 1 or 2 glow plugs not working and on initial start up you,ll be getting diesel knock which is basically unburned fuel slightly hydraulicking in the cylinder . or it could be that you have a very small air leak in fuel system which is allowing fuel to drain away from injectors or even a mixture of both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
