My 300 EDC auto started playing up intermittently on cold starts recently. ie if left overnight, sometimes it will start immediately, other times it turns, fires then dies straight away taking a fair few repeated cranks, and flooring of the throttle to get it to "catch". This has only happened since we got this hot spell. I've checked the fuel, sensors are reading fine, glow plugs are ok pipes etc. I've checked all the earths, and added extra ones. But, on checking the lift pump, no matter where I turn the engine to, I cannot get any resistance on the priming lever. Tried it with ignition turned to activate the solenoid etc. The thing is, when I finally get the vehicle started. It runs absolutely fine so I'm confused. I'm leaning towards the lift pump on its way out, but wondered if anyone knows if the EDC models differ from the non EDC. I would have thought a knackered lift pump would affect the running, not just the starting. Also whilst on the subject of lift pumps. Any recommendations for a decent brand? I've been looking at buying a Delphi. Thanks in advance
