2006 Td5. 60k on the clock. An annoying problem I hope a guru out there will throw some assistance my way.
Starting the engine from cold, I have to leave it for at least three to five minutes before I can pull away in first. If I don't it simply stalls, even if I increase the revs...it just does not pull. If I leave it say two minutes it will move but there is little or no response from the accelerator. Once warm it's fine.
Park on a hill, steep incline, 45 degs, return after say half an hour on a warm day and again it won't pull away. Park on the flat and its' fine. Park on the flat with a boulder (6 inches high) in front of the wheel and it won't crawl over it unless I engage low range.
The engine was services 3000 miles ago with a new fuel filter. I am about to change the filter again.
Oh how I wish carburretors were more efficient...ok I'm old!!
I learned to drive some 48 years ago in a Landy, now I'm back again or am I going backwards.
Any guidance would be very much appreciated.
