B3 1.6td RA starting problems
Sometimes it starts. Sometimes it refuses to. Glow plugs are new. Have replaced the fuel cut off solenoid before christmas because the fuel wasn't coming through. Once it's started it runs and idles absolutely marvelously. It also starts up a few hours after being used (ie it's still warm) It makes ...

Re: My 1.6td hates me :(
Checked the fuel cut off solenoid.. that was ok Got it started after following some old advice of put it in gear and move it to help the fuel through... now it's started Does this mean it is likely to happen again... knackered pump? or will it just be a blockage in the line that has now shifted? It ...

Re: 1.6td - Glow Plugs done... still wont start
It all makes sense now... best way to learn engines... have a car with problems...
It is the solenoid/stop valve... I got it running without the pin then had jolly fun trying to stop the engine!
Just need to buy a new part... what's the actual name for the part?

Re: 1.6td - Glow Plugs done... still wont start
Thanks Matt2
That's how mine looks.
I thought the fuel pump was in the top of the tank and where the number '3' is is the fuel filter?
If someone could put me right and identify the shut of valve on that I'd be most greatful
