bad starter on 1.9TD

well i checked EVERY fuse in the fuse pannel and there all good, replaced the relay, and put my voltmeter on the fuse block right before the glow plugs and i got 10.87 volts? I also changed the fuel fillter, started the car, air in the line and car started to stall... buuttt then i remebered how to bleed it so i did, car started up but still white smoke and rough...so idk if it was fuel filter or not..wont know untill tomorrow when the car is cold again, as it was already warmed up -_-.. hoping that thats the prob..

lotsa white smoke..

sounds like your glows are NOT functioning..

we shall see tomorrow if the filter made it better, it started up normal after 8.5 hours so we shall see tomorrow if it was the filter.. I checked glow plugs and they seemed fine..how do you check each glow plug using voltmeter?

pull the buss bar off, and test the resistance (ohms) of each plug. if you get very high, or no resistance, its probably shot.

all 4 plugs should have atleast close readings..

I put a new fuel filter on it, and that seemed to make the difference, so i think the filter was bad (atleast 60000kms on it since i owned it) Gonna let the car sit for a couple days and see.

fuel filters are a maintenance item. and need to be serviced regularly.. or else your car no run..
