Hello i am hoping some one could advise me about a possible cause of a fault I am experiencing.
the car is a Renault Clio DCi 1.5 manual 5dr 2005 plate mk2 120k on the clock
this only happens when the car has been left for about 4-5hrs or over night especially.
turn on the ignition wait for all lights to go out turn the key, the starter turns over and the engine starts for approx 1-2 seconds and then stops, I then turn the ignition off and then on again wait for the glow plug light to go off and then turn the key, the starter then needs to run for a while and then eventually the engine starts and drives away fine. I am wondering if this might be fuel related and whether air is getting in the line somewhere overnight and creating an bubble but that just a guess.
I have just changed the fuel filter but the problem started some time before the filter change.
Thanks to anyone who can offer some advice
Best regards
