Hi,
I have a Ford Transit 1997 Turbo Diesel. I'm not sure if it is a VG model or not. Is there a way to find out? The engine is a 4EBV?
Does this model have glow plugs? The manual says it does, but a mechanic can't locate them. The manual seems to be written for a number of models so perhaps mine doesn't. I have never seen a glow plug light luminate.
I have occasionally been having trouble starting the car where it cranks over slowly, speeds up and then starts, especially when cold. Today it started within 1 second, it was a warm day, so it is random. It is cold here at the moment and the only thing the manual advised is to depress the clutch and accelerator fully to start in cold weather. Also to wait until the glow plug light goes out (it says it laminates if it is under 10deg c).
Any thoughts?
