320d engine problem... odd one
Discussion
Hello chaps, & any chap-esses
My car has developed a wierd fault.
320td (150bhp)
The car's 04 plate and done 8,000 miles-ish.
It started a few nights ago, and has been happening every time since/
When you start it up cold (e.g. after 8 hours) it drives like a slug, quite slow, if so it's just not taking in air, I'd say running around 60% acceleration.
You then only have to drive up to half a mile, stop the car, wait a minute and re-start the engine and all is OK (restart the engine straight away and the problem continues)
After this one minute wait & restart it's fine, drives like a dream and feels perfectly normal.
What on earth's that about ?
I have left the car with a garage, handy as I'm working away from home and parking is £12 a day hehehe.
