Hi all, again.
I've got a major problem with my HDi, beers and ever lasting gratitude to anyone who can help get me back on the road. Here's the details -
Drove car last couple of weeks no problems, not down on power, no coughing or spluttering. Nipped to the shop and back one day with no trouble, parked up, came back 3 days later and my problems began.
The engine will crank but not fire.
I've checked It has diesel and I've topped the diesel up - just in case
Tried jump starting it in case battery didn't have the power to get it going
Found some copper swarf in the fuel filter
Fuel is getting to the injectors and tested they are getting power.
Haven't been able to read the ECU as can't move the car, waiting for someone with PP to come over at the weekend to read the ECU.
It will fire when using easy start, but it won't keep going when the easy start has been used up.
I've tried both keys, just in case the immobiliser chip in the usual key stopped working.
Looking at the most likely culprit I've changed the low pressure fuel pump with a new part from GSF, but still in same boat, cranks but no fire.
Do you think the high pressure pump could have died just like that? Started and ran fine one day but not the next?
