56 Plate 2.0 Tdci Won't Start.

Hi, I recently drove to London and back (about 120 miles in total) filling up at Asda before going. Everything was fine, except it felt down on power, until on the journey home the amber engine management light came on. The following morning I went to start the car and it briefly started and immediately died. I tried starting it again but it just turned over without starting. At first I thought that the immobiliser may have tripped because the doors locked and unlocked and the hazards flashed when I tried to start it the first time. I've looked at the engine since and noticed some air bubbles in the fuel line past the filter. No diesel appears to be coming from the tank to the filter.

 

Any ideas on what this could be, the amber light is no longer on either.

Water in the fuel filter. Get a new fuel filter put on add some wynns dry fuel and fill up with bp ultimate or shell vpower. Supermarket fuels are bad

A few weeks ago, the wife phoned me at work to tell me it briefly started then stopped.

When she called the AA, the very nice man cleaned up the throttle body a little bit and it started.

He then gave the throttle body a thorough clean up, and it has been perfect ever since.

Worth a look.
