Friend has a C15D 2001 1868cc. It's become a very poor starter,He's replaced the battery,starter motor and glow plugs but to no avail. Are these engines bad for the valves closing up and losing compression?
Once it has started,it will start all day long no problems there.

I don't think the DW8 suffers from the closing valves problem, I've not really heard of it on this unit before (but there are exceptions I suppose and any engine could do this)
It's only the XUD7 (thanks to Jim for confirming that even with these its the N/A one's only)
I'd initially go with the air in fuel theory stated by JohnD, press the "button" type plunger these have a few times, then try to start it again.
Off topic, but I was not aware they used the DW8 in the C15, I (assumed!) they kept using up the XUD7's in this only...
