Hi,
I just got a big service done (oil, all filters, glow plugs, v-belt, cambelt) in an independent garage. Now when starting the engine in the morning it starts a bit rough, just as if it wouldn't be getting enough fuel. It kind of starts half way and starts to choke, so I need to hold the key in starter position for about 4-5 seconds, otherwise it stalls. It's fine during the drive. Before the service it would start on touch at all times. I've put some Millers Diesel Ecomax in it as well just after the service. What would your bet be? Wrong air filter/fuel filter? Injector cleaner?
Apart from that I get a faint squeeking noise coming from the left side of the engine bay between 1100-1400 rpm. Would that be a badly fitted belt? The squeaking wasn't there before the service.

Thanks

hollow

According to the mechanic there was a fuel leak off the filter, as they didn't tighten one of the hoses properly. They've also lubricated the pulleys and tensioner. We'll see how it starts tomorrow morning.
