Starting issues on 806 HDi

External Since: Apr 01, 2006 Posts: 1

Has anyone any suggestion on the following problem. My 806 HDi will not
start. Having checked everything all seems OK. I then sprayed a small
amount of oil into the air intake and the engine started and ran fine.
Even when the engine was hot, once stopped it would not start until I
sprayed oil into the air intake!!!
Any clues or help would be appreciated.
My local dealer has suggested a problem with the diesel injectors and has
quoted a huge sum. I cannot see how it could be the injectors if the
engine runs OK???

Air in fuel system, low cylinder compressions. injection pump timing incorrect, this is what a haynes says about a engine difficult to start when hot,(missed one) air filter element dirty or clogged.
