cold start problem with fully charged battery

Had exactly the same 3 weeks ago. My diesel injectors were worn out. Bosch service has hooked up the diag computer and showed me that 4 of the 6 injectors had a bad rail pressure. Now they have repaired them and she starts like a world champion. Prize: EUR 1600.- BMW would replace them for 3x that prize.

I have a 2002 3.0d with 183.000 km.
Glow plugs will throw an error. Had that some years ago.


LG Helmuth

Helmuth thanks for the reply....jeez that is a big bill .....was it a difficult job?

as for hearing the fuel pump, yup did manage to here a whirring noise in rear so that seems ok.....but again relay maybe intermittent..... gonna start with battery AGAIN (despite stating in post that I had this issue witha full battery)...and as I dont have a load tester will do this:

fully charge battery out of car take reading 12.8-12.6 v should be the reading
then check after a couple of minutes should be 12.7-12.6
then check after 6 hours should be no lower than 12.6 IF it is lower, then battery needs to go...and I can take it from there....
