-   Have tried everything to overcome the hot starting problem on the BMW 1998 TDS. New glow plugs and injectors,feul and air filters.Checked for feul and air leaks in system. Only when it is hot do you sometimes battle to start it. No every time. Sometimes it starts fine and a minute later you struggle again. Once started the car performs exellent and has no other problems. To me it sounds like a feul starvation problem. Once when it did not want to start I took the feul filter off and found it to be half full with feul only. filled it and it started immediately. The problem is only when the engine is hot. -   wcptrust
