[HELP] What's that sound? Starter brushes or?

Discussion in 'Diesel' started by jords.fjords, May 25, 2022.

  1. In the last few weeks it's getting more annoying to start the car, makes this sound and sometimes even longer and i have to try to start it again. Any clues?

    It's all lost in translation, or not enough monty python viewed.
     
  8. Yeah probably but you guys lost me there. Don't know any Monty Python references.

    Just wanted your experienced opinions but it's okay, will find out anyway, somehow.

    It’s hard to tell from the inside of the car…

    I agree ,could well be,if one or more injector are leaking or stuck open you will get excessive fuel knock in a diesel.
    Often the cause is moisture or water in the fuel,it will corrode to sealing surface of the injector pintel and cause it to leak raw fuel.
    Don't know the history on your car so not 100% on the reply.
     
  14. seems like high pressure fuel pump is the problem because it leaks from one gasket spot. Will soon give it to be fixed.
