Ordered a new filterhousing so we see what happens.

No, but cleaned and checked

I have an issue with starting when my diesel gets around 1/4 or less. It will first start but immediately shut down and require a long cranking until eventually picking up. This is after car has been sitting for a few hours. I have due to other issues rebuild some, a new set of injectors, vdo...

If nothing else is available petrol is the way to go and before it was the only option. Now usually you will find other additives. No issues with cars thet has run for decades with petrol added though. Some premature wear plaussible, something to worry about... no

Half a litre per tank should not do any harm what so ever used over cold season. Not that I do that since there are other additives nowadays. That amount should prevent gelling. The conversation about the petrol started by the question that maybe I had some petrol in the tank and my point was...

You see diesel works only to maximum of -15C. So wintertime its blended with an additive to hold to -35C and below. Before this was done by adding a small amount of petrol, nowadays there are additives for that but works pretty much the same. Here we run our diesels in below -40C with no issues...

Thanks, but I have a p15 so i have to run green tops. Just made a trial running black tops and p10 lift arm to rule out electrical issues etc before ordering injectors. Thanks anyway

update. I got the reconditioned injectors. Put them in and all went well.... I thought. Turned out two of the recons were faulty. Could pick them out by reading nanocom comp values and threw in two of my old ones I thought were within some specs. Sent back the two faulty and waiting now for new...

Coulf there be any damage done by trying with black tops? The engine rotated freely when cranking by hand and we adjusted pump rods as per manual

Yeah just for trial but i also used the pump rod, dont know the real name of it, but the one the pushes the injectors, from a p10

GOOD NEWS. We had some P10 injectors lying around and with a little adjustment they fitted my P15 just so we could get it tried out. Ran perfect. So I ordered a full set from commonraildiesels yesterday and waiting for them now. The issue was one or more injectors gone bad. It solved also the...

Turned out it's pretty expensive here to even test the injectors. Costs 2/3 of the price for a refurbished. So I am going to get all 5 rebuildt ones. Is this company known to anyone and trustworthy...

Yeah i knew the fuel system was not covered butvthought that high off values epuld somehow be logged, but good to know that it can be faulty with no log... then i still have some hope. The magnets work on all injectors, tested that before removing.

Yeah i didnt get any readings. I cleared the fault started it snd checked again, no readings. Im a little confused why it doesnt give any codes since its compensating injectors til it shuts off...

I didnt take a look actually at the rpm readings. I did not have shims under crank sensor. When i took a closer look the redish wire was starting to get naked. So i took the connector with 10cm extra wires from a doner d2 on our yard, cut the connector i had off and extended with the new one. It...

I am sure there is no petrol in the tank. Filled it from almost empty and drove flawless 600km that day before problems begun. And there should be quite a lot of petrol for the engine to stop working. Here in cold north we sometimes add petrol to diesel to run them in extreme cold temperatures...

Yeah its really huge readings. I took them all out now, we have a diesel shop with certified delphi repair in our city so i will take them there and have them try out all of them and then have them restored as needed. Better to check all of them at once and know where i am with them.

Just got it fired up (hardly) with nanocom plugged in, when throttled maximim +-10. But on idle +40 as max on nr3 and 4 and 6 gave 23 and 31. Could one faulty make others make huge compensation? I mean if nr 3 is blown could 4 and 5 play up too?

Thanks, the top switch was new to me. I have a nanocom and it hasnt given me any fault codes due to this issue. That's why I have been pretty set on fuel pump issue until I switched it and no change. Could the ecu have an issue without giving me any fault codes? Or faulty injector without fault...

true. I have not been loosing any coolant. But poor injector sounds like possible. Any damage from that ususally? the clunking I mean
