18t non start

motmann · 7th June 2013, 19:58

Mg at 18t would not start this morning,did a scan this evening......fuel pump relay short to earth and 1520 undocumented code, any other ideas guys?

Ignore the 1520 code, all the mems ecu's have it so nothing to worry about, even the T4 says its "undocumented".

Moved to technical help forum, was the vehicle turning over or was it dead?

Turns over but won't fire,will check for fuel at the rail and spark in the morning, got a feeling it's going to be fuel pump or the famous fuel filter situation, it's identical to a previous thread on here...........

It's very unlikely to be a pump issue. It's very likely to be FFS. So, get a FOC before you start or you'll only be doing it all again in due course.

The clip will eliminate 99% of non starting issues with petrol engined variants.

I don't follow you. Have you fitted a FOC to an earlier non-FOC housing?
