As if my luck couldn't get any worse... - rtha6551 - 12-08-2013
My car now won't start -.-
Can't find that very useful thread that had details on most reasons why a hdi won't start
Basically when the key is turned to the ignition it's normal, lights go on and some off as expected, fuel/oil gauges work
No sound from the lift pump so I'm guessing its that? When I turn the key to start the car there is a click but nothing, the car doesn't even attempt to start
I did run it near empty last night but put 1/3 of a tank in and it started and drove home fine
Done it before to me but it started after 5 mins, I took my uncles car to work and tried again when I got home and it's dead still :/
Fuses to check? Also is the LP under that cover under the drivers side rear seat? As I can't get the cover off and don't actually know what I should be checking :/
Cheers

So it's not even trying to crank / turnover?
Sounds battery related almost.

If all the lights and other electrics work but you just get a click itll be starter motor.
Double check the battery first, with a multimeter across it it should read close to 12v

Check the battery before anything else lol.
Although when the batt's get low on HDi's they usually get jumping needles and 8888888 on the milage....from experience lol.
Could try bump starting it, but you'll need enough power for the lift pump and ECU stuff at least....

It's strange you're not hearing the lift pump and not turning over.
As piggy say hitting the starter solenoid as someone tries to turn it over.

I've had the needles thing happen a few weeks ago after I tried to clear the airbag light with an ecu reader meant for vauxhalls! thought that was why
Pushed the car forward a bit off the flat part of my drive, turned the key and it weakly turned over but fired up!
So I've ripped it up and down the industrial estate to get some fuel flowing and not turned it off, what should I do next? Get a new motor?

Get a new battery!!
Then check all the cables as ones probably loose or dirty, causing poor connection....

Don't get a new battery yet, get a garage to see if its holding charge first. This sounds more like starter motor to me.

Check and clean all the connections on the battery and starter and double check the earth leads nice and clean
