2000 e320 cdi hard to start

[williamh1964]

Hi everyone I have recently purchased my e320 cdi and am having a slight problem im hoping some of you can help me with. The car starts first time every morning but after you have been driving for a while and stop it is very difficult to get started again. I am having to leave the car for periods up to an hour long before it will restart. I have had the cam shaft sensor replaced already. Just hoping someone on here can help,

I had exacly the same fault. I been told to check seals on fuel pressure valve on rail. When I took off it turns out tip on end of regulator was damaged. Had to replace it. ~£120. Check that first. Its exacly the same as mine.

Or Crank Position Sensor (CPS).

But get the codes read first.
