the diesel filter needs to be replaced
The "plug" powers an coolant heater. A diesel engine starts easier if the engine is warm.
Rudolf Diesel invented the diesel engine
Do you have an old diesel or a new one? If you have an old diesel engine, you turn the key to the "run" position and look for the glow plug light. Glow plugs heat the cylinders, and when the engine is warm the light goes out, you turn the key and the engine starts. On a new diesel, you turn the key and it starts.
renault kangoo starts up and then cut out
What kind. Starts? No power? Question is too general.
My sorento cuts out when setting off just after starting the engine. I then try to start it again and eventually it starts?
it loses power it starts knocking or it throws a rod out the side of the block
GASOLINE ENGINE OR DIESEL?
If its a Diesel engine, it could the Heat Plugs - just had mine done and it starts like a dream! hope this helps.
The #1 cause of cold air from the heater when the car is stopped, or the engine is idling, low engine coolant levels.
Petrol & Gas engines are spark ignited engines where as diesel engines are compression ignited engines. Petrol engines works with explosion of fuel air mixture due to spark from spark plug inside the cylinder. Diesel engines works with combustion of fuel air mixture due to compression, compressed mixture attains a very high temperature which exceeds the flash point of diesel and starts burning inside the cylinder and the hot gases after burning of fuel misture exerts force on piston which makes the diesel engines work. Diesel engines are highly efficient than petrol engines.
It depends what engine. The range starts at 136HP (diesel) and ends at 240HP (petrol, 3.2 litre V6).
