    Mercedes Benz 250 diesel 1998 & other Mercs - Intermittent start, diesel draining back Archived Message

    Posted by John weddup on March 2, 2004, 9:12 am

    Had several lately with intermittent starting and it would appear to be air problems or diesel draining back.

    The last one was moved on a transporter with front higher than back. It would then not start until cranked for ages. It was ok and has been ok since.

    I had another with lots of air in clear pipes, replaced O rings and its better but still needs a lot of cranking espescially if parked up hill.

    I now have another with intermittent poor or non start.Another garage have replaced glowplugs so I again suspect air problems.

    Has anyone else had these problems

    thanks
