CDTI won’t start
Hi all, My car has decided to not start without any forewarning. Drove to my local top and back, no issues. Went to use it about 10 mins later and all it does is turn the engine over (really healthyly so not the battery), the trip computer and highline centre screen come on but none of the dials work.
All other electrical systems seem to work. Any ideas welcome! Cheers, Graham. |

If you have the under bonnet fuel pump try giving it a good tap with a screwdriver handle with the ignition in position 2. Also if you do have the bonnet pump, what is your fuel level ? if your intank pump has failed the car wont start with fuel around the quarter tank area.

Ok so, checked all the fuses, all fine. Disconnected the battery for 5 mins, no change. Plugged my Bluetooth diagnostic tool on and not didn’t find the car. Dig down to the ecu, no water to be seen, pulled all the plugs off and reconnected them, still wouldn’t start. Turned the ignition back on and tried the indicators and horn, all worked, tried to start it, under bonnet pump started running and the engine started.
Switched it off and it repeated the fault, tried another time and started up fine and has done for a further 5 try’s! WTF!!! What’s going on here? Not sure I trust it now! |

Could be the cam sensor. When it fails to start is the UBP running, and does the oil light come on with key to position II as it should?

First things to check are the plenum drains and that the ECM hasn't been for a swim. Penty of info on here if you do a search.

Just to add another twist in the tale it’s decided to behave now, can’t get it to fail! I do have a ecu removed from a scraper, if it comes to it I’ll probably take you up on that and maybe a remap at the same time. |

When my face lift tourer had a bout of not starting when hot turned out to be the fuel pump relay. Canged it and normal service resumed.
