Starting Problems

[ant1966]

hi

 

got a 1997 galaxy 1.9 tdi that wont start now its had engine replaced.

after changing engine started off with a fuel problem which has now been sorted and have fuel getting to the injectors

have replaced the starter motor as this seemed to be struggling to turn the engine

have also replaced the battery

still wont start

 

its going through the motions but when you try to start all the interior lights flash on and off and you can hear a relay clicking in and out fuel is there but just wont fire up

 

any ideas would be greatly appreciated as i now have not got a clue

 

 

thanks

Does it bump start.....

 

If so then its a battery/starter problem.

 

If not then its a fuel problem.

 

If it starts and cuts out then its an immobiliser problem.

 

I am assuming manual gearbox ?

You replaced the glow plugs?
