Hi.
Am new to here, but am getting desperate now. checked out other threads, but nothing that I think would help.
I took my 07 plate 1.6Hdi in to the local garage (drove it in) to get the timing belt changed @ 108,000 and an oil change while they were at it.
Timing belt was done, but since then the car has not started, oh by the way I took it to the garage on the 7th Jan. the car turns over, but wont start. They have re checked the timing several times to make sure it is correct and they say yes. they have checked to see if it is a fuel supply problem.....no. Changed the heater plugs.....no. they have towed it for miles to try and start it.....no. Oh and while they were towing it, put a hole in the bumper. Now they are saying it is a compression problem, as (and I quote) ' they are dirty engines so a valve could be stuck due to build up of gunk'.
They have plugged a diagnostic computer in to it, several time and this shows no faults.
I had to go a week with no car, but eventually got a courtesy car (Festa 1.Any2tdci, which is knackering my back in).
So any help/suggestions you can give me to take to the 'garage' would be gratefully receivedand my back will be eternally grateful also.
Thanks
