Two simple jobs done.. now WON'T START 2.0 hdi
#1
Well after the euphoria of getting the Berlingo back home.. a set back..

Carried out two simple jobs.. removed rocker cover to cure leaking gasket, and removed No1 injector as it was chuffing. Have since put back rocker cover and injector, but it will not start. There was no trouble before, started on the button every time, even when I had problems with the limp mode episode. After the MAF was disconnected it flew home.

When I initially tried the first start it did fire for a couple of seconds, but since.. zilch. Now I do have questions but first I'll explain what I observed. I was under the impression these engines were self bleeding??? but when I gave the bulb a few pumps I could see lots of air bubbles in the clear pipe going to the injection pump and in the other direction to some sort of T junction/sender. Anyway, I've pumped the bulb continuously and although I don't see any more air and I appear to have diesel at the injectors, its making no attempt to fire whatsoever. Is there a bleed at the pump, I can't see one. I can only think that if air entered it could have only been when I removed the injector.

I have to say I'm fighting blind with this engine because I know very little about them. I did mention in my other thread though that when I removed the rocker cover I came across what I later found out to be a cam sensor. There's hardly any adjustment on the spacing of this in the clamp, just a small oval slot.. is this critical???

Of course, as an old school mechanic, who is  used to equating diesel at the injectors with a good battery and compression = combustion... But when you're turning over the engine and you just know its not going to fire.. you start thinking what have I done? Is this something electrical causing this. Have I created fault codes? Of course, as I've just bought the car, have no test gear or manual, so I'm feeling like I'm up the creek without a paddle at the moment.

Have disconnected the battery thinking this will clear codes.. will it?

Any ideas would definitely be most welcome. Many thanks in anticipation..

Dave..
