Hi Guys
I seem to have a few problems with my 1.9D Van.
Problem 1:
The radiator fan doesn't seem to come on as it should. It only comes on if I just sit there with high revs to take the temp up near the red, then it comes on. Is this normal?
Problem 2:
It seems I have the poor cold starting problem like alot of 1.9d's I see people have on this and many other forums.
After doing a bit of searching, one guy wrote that if you turn the ignition on and off for about 4 times, then turn it on to heat up the glow plugs, it will start first time. I did this and it worked. He said something about the fuel system losing pressure over night and doing this trick will cause the pressure to build back it.
My question is, what causes the pressure loss and cause the fuel to drain back into the tank?
Cheers for now
Mark
