Air may form in the fuel supply system or impurities may settle at the bottom of the filter: this results in uncertainty during the starting phase, which occurs with a slight delay; for this reason, there is a bleed valve at the bottom of the diesel filter housing.

Remove the plastic cover on the engine to access the diesel filter located at the front of the engine, just behind the radiator, unscrew the bottom screw by one turn and start the engine for a few seconds, then turn it off and repeat the process, allowing the engine to run to expel the air; then close the screw and repeat the starting: it will certainly be quicker.
