Hi,
2000 W210 E320CDI estate, 160k miles, had a 'B' service a couple of weeks ago.
Had the car something over a couple of years and it's nearly always started from cold after a couple of turns of the starter. However, Saturday and Sunday morning, it took upwards of five minutes to get going.
Only times in the past the car's been troublesome to start is if it's been left on a steep incline overnight. Saturday morning, it had been on a very slight incline overnight but Sunday morning we'd been at home overnight, where it's parked on the level.
That said, I'm thinking how level or not the car's parked has nothing to do with this problem, and something's not working? :roll: Fwiw, the heater 'coil' light does come on briefly immediately after the ignition's turned on, and both MissusMac and I have had enough diesels to know not to try and start one before the heater light extinguishes.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards,
