Hi guys, after a long delay I finally got around to changing the glow plugs. I didn't think this was the cause of it not starting but as Fahad says, you need to eliminate everything. Does anyone know what the minimum starting RPM is for this engine as the reading on the OBD scanner is still...

Hi Fahad, sorry for the delay getting back to you. I've been down to the garage today and ran a few checks with the mechanic, his Snap On OBD reader came up with these readings: It is showing P1384 Glowplug circuit fault. This has been checked and 1 glowplug is down. Fuel pressure reqd =...

Jon, yes it does mate and I'll check it tomorrow. I'm just a bit worried about the fuel pressure reading, the reader had a required fuel pressure @ 60Mpa but it was reading 69, 73, 71 after a second of cranking. Why would it say it reqd 600bar to start when you say it only needs 200bar? It...

Jon G, yes the injectors have been leak off tested and all seem to be OK. The OBD reader is a Snap-On Solus so it's not a cheap bit of kit and it shows that the reqd fuel rail pressure is 60 Mpa and it is showing above this constantly. That does seem to be high compared to the figure of 200...

Hi guys, thanks for all the info I have garnered from this forum in the time I've had my 04 CDTi. I've since become a dab hand at changing fuel filters, I don't even think there was any blood last time! Do you think I could pick your brains again? My Accord has been fantastic until recently...

Believe me, I'm not sat at 65 ;) But I do consider myself a decent driver and I aim never to brake on a motorway and I try and predict what all the other numpties are going to do so I can adjust my speed in advance. I do a round trip of 100 miles a day, about a quarter of that is A road, the...

Thanks Fahad, I bought the Accord as a cheap diesel motorway hack and then was so impressed with how it behaved that I want to look after it. When it wasn't running 100% I was getting 60mpg at A road/motorway speeds, I didn't believe this at first but it still keeps delivering this mileage...

Hi guys, since I got my 04 CDTI at auction in August I've been a regular visitor to the site and have tried out a few of the tips you have posted, but I think the diesel filter and butterfly v/v cleaning are a must for new owners. The car drove great apart from slight hesitation when...
