What's causing my Skoda Octavia starting problems?

My 2006 Skoda Octavia 1.9 diesel takes ages to start in the morning. When it does start it runs all day without any problems. Is it injector related?

Hi James,

We doubt that this is injector related. It's more likely to be a glow plug problem. Thankfully that's much cheaper to fix! Bring the car along to a mechanic and get a quote.

Hope that helps.
