Hi, used this website nearly daily for troubleshooting my van and now need some advice pleez.
X244 2.8JTD 2005
Turns over but does not start even with easy start(AA guy tried).
No previous issues, I replaced the fuel filter a month ago and van ran for 10 mins no issues. Didn't start van for 2 weeks and now this permanent fault. Perhaps blocked High pressure pump with debris?
Spent 2 days trying to find if it was the immobiliser and now think it does not use it/ been deleted in the ECU. - never seen the yellow code icon ever. Tried the key without it's transponder and still did not see the code icon.
Key to 1st position starts the tank fuel filter and I can hear fuel running through the return pipes and back to the tank.
Red injector alarm light comes on.
OBD(tried 2) they say 1 fault stored but both allow it to be erased. So alarms before cranking
I thought it might be an injector but non were passing(non returning out the top relief). As so much fuel was returning to the tank it maybe a pressure sensor. So blocked the return flow which pushed fuel out of the filter seal. Not my best thinking! But learning.
Is this flow of diesel back to the tank is normal?? It's very noticeable and splashing back into the tank. I guess so if there is no pressure regulation to stop the tank pump which appears to be timed.
Tomoz I will check the filter heater and temp sensor.
From previous posts I do have 12v on the plug going to the high pressure solenoid and about 1.5 volts when the plug is plugged back in.
There is a small black box where all the fuel returns come to before heading back to the tank. Very difficult to reach and check which part Is retuning the fuel.
Thanks Chris
