E200CDI Starting Problems

[Steve Page]

Hi

I have a 2002 E220 CDI, alll was fine an then one day it would not start turned over fine but would not fire, called out the RAC who used easy start to get it going. since then sometimes it starts and other times it just doesn't want to know. If I use easy start it starts and drives fine.

Any ideas on what might be the problem and is it an easy fix ?

Be careful using this as eventually it causes engine wear and compression problems.

First you should check that your glow plugs are working. If all ok have a compression check done.
