vito starting problems

[boschy]

hi guys first time for me on this , problem, i have is that i have a vito 110 cdi (auto)on an 02 plate and it,s recently having difficulty starting first thing on a morning,its takes an age to start but once it,s run for a short while it runs great no probs ,the other day i had to get the AA out to help start it but they said it was the glow plugs, so these have been changed , yet nothing,s changed,but the garage says that it,s shown low fuel pressure,can anyone steer me to the answer as i need to get this sorted as the garage is closed till the new year and i need to be mobile as i,m self employed .
hoping for a favourable answer
thanks Boschy

Hi & Welcome, I would first check to see if there are any air bubbles in the fuel lines. Quite common and well worth a search on the forum.

Hi, Sounds like it may be an injector problem. I had similar recently with my Sprinter. Poor starting when warm. Search "Sprinter Warm Start" for full thread.

shouldn't need glow plugs in this country unless it gets freakishly cold. See here - http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=23357
