Starting issues
Hi all, I have a 1997 2.5 diesel bongo, when starting from cold she splutters a lot and quite a lot of fumes from the exhaust, if I give her a bit of a rev it settles down and ticks over smoothley, any ideas why she is sputtering, and it's only from cold. Thank you
Re: Starting issues
My guess would be glow plugs, or one, at least.
Bizarrely mine just did this when I woke him up yesterday.

Re: Starting issues
When were the glowplugs last replaced ?
Check to see if there are volts getting to the busbar if you have a meter, comes on with Ignition to On and then stays on till the ECU has seen the engine warm up sufficiently.

Re: Starting issues
Mine were only replaced Nov 2021.
I'll still be looking there.
