I had a 2003 Ford Focus 1800 TDCI Duratorq come in with a hard start issue from cold. Once it was warm it would start great every time. No DTC s stored and live data showing good pressure generation. Checking amps on the injector harness confirmed commencement of injection too.

Ford focus 1.8 tdci, is terrible at starting when cold. The motor is slow to pick up speed and doesnt seem to spin fast enough. The glow plugs only stay on for two seconds. However once the engine is hot and restarted, there is a horrible graunching noise
OK Grim ..I dont like a problem like this as the last time i personally encountered this type problem it cost me a lot of money .and it was down to cylinder and ring wear inside the engine ..i.e when cold the engine starts becaue the cylinders have contracted but when warm the cylinders are expanded and because a diesel needs good compression and this effects it and makes it hard to start . 227 274 110 390 204 351 448 258
