Problem starting

[millsy Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close millsy]

Have recently changed pre diesel filter on the d4d .the car starts as normal.Between 10 to 15 seconds later as you put it into drive or reverse it conks out.Then approximately 5 to 10 seconds of holding your start button on it starts and the problem goes away .It only does it from a cold start.Works as normal while car is hot? Any ideas

Sounds like it is sucking in air somewhere, if you have been playing with filters then check they are tight. I had almost exactly the same thing happen with my 120 after a service, another 1/8th turn on the filter and has been fine ever since.

Yes, sounds like an air leak to me to. Check all clamps. Also, the 'O' ring may not be seated in its recess, or could be twisted.
