470 is the CCA (cold-cranking amps), which is a measure of how many amps the battery is rated at at a certain cold temperature (I forget which). If it is a new, non-shagged battery that won't be what is causing the issue.Perhaps describing what happens when you try to start it will help to diagnose the issue. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Its will turn over for about 10 mins before the battery will eventually go flat its just seems as if it just about to fire but nothing at all |

Does it turn over ok ? If it runs ok off a bump I'd assume starter motor |

Does it smoke alot when it eventually starts? if it does I'd check your getting feed to the glow plugs and also check the glow plugs work too.(put a continuity test through them). If there's not too much smoke i'd check for fuel leaks which can let air into the system also making it hard to start. ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

I'd go with the above that you have air in the fuel somewhere, I've had this before on a diesel and it does exactly what you are describing.Is there any way to manually prime the fuel system on these? If there is try that and see if it'll start easier, if it will you've found your problem. ________________________________________ Ryan |

hdi's dont suffer from air in the fuel as they run a pump in the tank which pushes the fuelnot like the old mechanical pumped diesels that suck the fuel from the tank if it bumps and starts i would go for a lazy starter motor/under rated battery-poor battery /weak tank fuel pump/ poor earths |
