Hi all, new to this forum and loving it but now really need some help
I have a 98' 300Tdi Disco Auto thats broken down on the driveway and i'm struggling to figure out a fix.
Vehicle turns over but wont start and I've checked all the obvious stuff. Fuel is getting to the F.I.P but not out therefore I think its a fuel cut off solenoid issue but having looked, its fitted with a black plastic cap on the back of the pump with three wires going into it, which I think is DDS(?). I've put my fingers on the back of this cap and switched the ignition on but dont feel a tell-tale "clunk" of the solenoid energising. I've tried disconnecting and then reconnecting the battery to reset it (which didnt work) and the immobiliser light on the dash works as it should.
Anyway, my main question is.....can I remove this plastic cap (and how)? Can i do something with these three wires to bypass the DDS and send an ignition feed straight to the solenoid (and again, how)? And finally do I need to bypass the immobiliser system to do this (and if so, how?).
I'm fairly handy with the spanners, just never come across one of these before!
Thanks in advance for any help provided
