This work has been carried out without my authorization, so how do i stand with that. they then said they had all 4 of the injectors tested at £25 each (£100), and that all 4 are bad and would need to be replaced. We heard nothing for seven days or so, then my garage had a call to say that they had removed all the injectors, which had taken them five hours, due to stubborn injector removal and having to remove camshafts and housing to get the sealing washers out.

I had taken the car to my local garage who i trust implicitly, and they looked at the car but could not come up with a definate diagnosis, but did say that fuel pressure was showing a bit low and suggested taking the car to a specialist diesel garage, so the owner and myself delivered it ourselves, and told the garage owner to diagnose the problem and give one of us a call so we could decide how to proceed. Many thanks to Matt and Lee for your responses to my problem, just to put you guys in the frame, the story has moved on a bit since. Normal diagnostics don't normally spot injector leaks when the engine is off the only reliable way to check is gto remove the injectors and give them to a diesel injection specialist who can pressure up the inactive injectors and see if they hold pressure or if they drip fuel, if they drip then its a new injector. I have also seen hot starting issues being caused by leaking injectors, this is not usually an issue when cold as the cold start requires a rich fuel mix however when trying to restart the mixture is too rich and the car will not restart until cools down again. Sometimes removing and cleaning/lubricating the starter works however if it has been going on for a while the spindle is usually too damaged and a new starter is required. Starter motor issues are not unheard of on the 2.0 1CD engines basically over time debris builds up inside the starter casing this eventually starts to build up around the starter spindle slowing the spindle speed enough to cause slower than normal cranking speeds which is worse when hot as the spindle expands and sticks even more as the engine gets hotter. Glow Plugs (discount for hot start issues, usually give fault codes ) Fuel pressure sensor/ Coolant temp sensor ( unlikely )ĩ. Supply pump / SCV ( pump is unlikely, SCV's possible but usually give hesitation when running and fault codes )ħ. Compression ( never seen a worn out one )Ħ. Starter signal circuit / Starter / Battery ( see below )ģ. Fuel filter ( not usually issue so long as it changed every 40k/4yr unless there is fuel sludging )Ĥ. Overinflation of your tyres may give you a temporary superior cornering experience but it dramatically increases the risk of breaking.10 seconds cold cranking, this is way too long & Non start when hot, Possible causes taken from Toyota's diagnostic flow chart for hot/cold starting issues:ġ. On the other hand, filling your car tyres too much is not a good idea. Otherwise, you should expect to end up with a flat tyre or the premature wear out (That’s because at a low Pressure the friction between tyres and the road is increased). If your car seems closer to the ground than normal it may be a sign indicating that the pressure of the tyres has been decreased and you need to ask a trusted mechanic to inflate them. Knowing the correct PSI for your vehicle is extremely important Not only does it control the grip and handling of your car but it also deals with your car’s safety and fuel economy. For a smooth safe ride and long-lasting tyres, you should ensure that your car tyres are inflated to the right pressure. The Pressure is simply a measure of how much air is inside your pneumatic tyre. In scientific terms, PSI is a unit of the Pressure (Don’t panic, please! We are not going to teach you Physics here, but we may mention some scientific facts when necessary). You may wonder what PSI is and what it has to do with the mileage and safety of your car. What is PSI and what PSI should Tyres be? Here, we explain the effect of not having the right tyre pressure and how to find the recommended one for your vehicle.

Every driver knows how important is to check the engine oil regularly, but few people realise the impact of the tyres on their car’s steering, fuel economy, and safety.
