My CD220i takes ages to start on a cold morning (if at all). The engine is incredibly noisy too, especially when idling. When it does finally start, it seems to be OK though. No warning lights.
About 2 months ago glowplug warning light wouldn't go out. Local garage relaced two heater plugs (but unable to remove the other two). Ever since I got it back the engine sounded much noisier and felt a bit like "hunting" when ticking over. (Could something the garage did be connected to the cold starting problem?)
Its been suggested to me that, if I run a Bosch disagnostic on the car, that will identify the problem. Would it? Or any experts here have any ideas on what might be the cause? (Local garage said that the worst case scenario is that its a compression problem - which meant a new engine!!!)
Help!
