Stalling After Starting

[Belleyeteres]

hi all.

My galaxy 1.8tdci 125 diesel has a couple of times stall after starting then taken a while to start. This was always after a overnight standing. This week while on holiday it has done it every day and today I managed to pull away and it stalled. Once it starts again it is ok with no problems. I think it is fuel draining back to the tank when standing. I am going to book it in tomorrow.

Any one else had a simular problem.

Took it in to the dealer tonight after it took 5 min to get it started. I am expecting the usual we could not find anything wrong because the receptionist just wrote on the sheet cold starting problem even though i told her it seems to be when the car is sloping backward and left standing.

Collected the car today. As I said they say they could not find any thing wrong with the starting problem. When I booked it in I did not feel my custom was wanted.

I will just have to see how it goes and if it plays up again leave it and call out the RAC

I had this problem on a 2.0d and it was cured by updating the PCM software, i.e. essentially the latest "engine mapping". The 2.0d and the 1.8d are radically different engines though, so this may be coincidence.
