Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
i have a 2000 406 hdi with a bosch system, only 125000 miles on it the car will not start on normal turn over only with easy start or a bump down the road, i have checked tank pump & replaced glow plugs & glowplug relay only to be told it doesnt need them. i have also changed the hi pressure bosch pump with one off of a previous 406 i had so i know that to be working. it will not start even when its been running, once it is running it doesnt miss a beat & sounds realy sweet, i would really like to know what it could be

have a leak off check carried out on the injectors. you may be losing fuel pressure and there is a minimum pressure required before the car will start.

does it turn over fast enough might be a starter or battery problem,where the battery voltage is too low to switch the injectors cos the starter is pulling the battery voltage too low. try it with jump leads first
