Hi all!!
Just thought i would pass this on in case it helps anyone else..... My dad has a '94 Xantia 1.9SXTD, a few days ago he started having problems; very bad starting from cold (okay when warm though) so i checked pre-heating system and all usual things but they were fine. As it turns out, it was caused by air getting into the fuel system, as when i pumped the rubber priming bulb it started fine, this is when i noticed the leak-off pipe between No3 and No4 cylinder allowing fuel to escape from a pin hole. The fuel system has been slowly filling with air overnight causing the bad starting. I have fitted a new pipe and it seems okay now but i will know for sure when it is started in the morning from cold.....i will keep you posted!! Hope this helps!
Regards, Rich.
