Diesel Engine Starting Problem Repair
Budget: $50 – $0 USD
My vehicle’s diesel engine refuses to start reliably, and I need an experienced automotive mechanic who specialises in diesel‐engine repair to diagnose and fix the issue.
Here’s what I know so far:
• The main goal is full engine repair, not just a quick tune-up.
• It is a diesel engine—not gasoline or hybrid—so expertise with compression-ignition systems, glow plugs, and diesel fuel delivery is essential.
• The symptom is persistent starting problems. Once running, performance seems normal, but cold or warm starts are unpredictable.
What I expect from you:
1. Comprehensive diagnostics using appropriate scan tools and manual tests (fuel pressure, glow-plug circuit, injector balance, battery/alternator health).
2. Clear explanation of the root cause before any major parts are replaced.
3. Repair or replacement of faulty components (e.g., glow plugs, injectors, high-pressure pump, starter, wiring) and confirmation that the engine starts consistently afterward.
4. A brief post-repair report outlining the work performed and any preventive maintenance recommendations.
If additional issues emerge during diagnosis—such as electrical faults or routine maintenance items—I’m open to addressing them once we discuss scope and cost. I can bring the vehicle to your workshop or, if you offer mobile service, arrange on-site work.
Please outline your experience with diesel engines, the diagnostic tools you use, and an estimated timeline for completing the repair.
