Car mechanics – diesel won't start

Fairy nuff. Was curious as my 1.7dti the ECU was saying has leak off problems but the cause was actually bad solder in the EDU. (a secondary cause was the ECU was full of diesel 🙂 )

With the 1.7 you can get the engine management light to flash the codes

Shame really as i was just starting to tolerate it as well……( its the mrs motor)

Leakoffs replaced, bulb fitted into return line , primed fuel pump

Hit the key , cough cough – roaaaar

Very happy , means i dont have a shagged fuel pump ( 600 quid for a recon !! )

you sir are mental for going ahead with the car repairs today, did the snow/sleet stop at any point whilst you were doing the fronty?

Shortly after it soaked through my buffalo.

After i dried out i tidied the garage so i can at least nose it in for dropping the oil and doing the filters when they arrive.
