Citroen C4 Starting Issue

[bmassey]

Hi all, i've recently bought an 07 C4 Hatchback 1.6Hdi. There were no issues for a couple of weeks while the temperature was around 10deg C but now it's between 0 and 5 degrees i have experienced difficulties starting the car.

I have replaced the battery incase but the issue still persits. When the engine turns over it'll run but then cut out a few seconds after starting. After this it will turn over but not start. However if the car has been running that day or it is generally warmer then there are no problems. Once the car is up to temp there are also no idling, running issues etc.

I initially thought glow plugs but browsing various forums it seems these are only required below 0 degrees. Other things i have seen on forums is the cam position sensor or EGR valve, but these only be a problem when cold starting?

Thanks in advance for any help

Thanks for the replies - Apologies i made an error in my original post which i have now edited. After it cuts out on first start it will then turn over but not start. I have also been able to eventually get it started whilst jump starting could this be nackered glow plugs but the two batteries is enough to just get the plugs working to start (with a struggle) ?
