2012 Great Wall X200 problems starting and too noisy
Answered by David Morley · 09 Apr 2025

There are plenty of reasons why a diesel won’t start in the morning. This can often be traced back to a problem with the fuel system or the glow-plugs which are needed to warm the combustion chambers before the diesel will ignite.

As for the noise, it pays to remember that diesel engines are inherently noisy, but if you’ve owned the car for a while and are familiar with its normal level of racket, then any new or louder noises signal a problem. If, indeed, the new noises are connected to the engine’s refusal to start easily, you might be looking at an engine with worn out internals. At that point, it’s time to recondition or replace the original engine.

But before you do any of that, have a diesel specialist look at and listen to your engine running, and you might find the problem is a simple one after all.

I don’t believe that what you want is out there, and can only reiterate past advice, buy a Patrol/Pajero/Prado/LandCruiser.
