Been through all the threads, but haven't found a solution yet.
I have a td4 auto, usually everything okay, no niggles or anything. Used it Sunday morning, everything ok. Used it Sunday lunchtime, took a while to start (4 goes), but then ran like a dream. Sunday night, refused point blank to start. Called out breakdown, who diagnosed faulty fuel pump by cracking open a union and remarking that fuel should be pi**ing out, not just coming out.
Had it recovered to my usual garage, who top dollar, jumped on it right away. They said they had got it running , and the only fault code was cam sensor.
Changed cam sensor this morning and cleared fault code, but still not starting. They then sprayed easy start in the inlet, and it started straight away. Since then, every time they try to start it with easy start, right as ninepence and runs like a dream. Try to start without, and it won't !
Their bosch computer threw back an unknown code fault, and it now has to go to main dealer for diagnostics (wednesday week).
The garage are unsure if it is a fuel pump problem or an injector problem, and don't want to commit to either due to the high costs involved if they get it wrong.
Any ideas anyone ??
