Hi there
Got an '06 Berlingo van 2ltr HDi. Done about 95K now and had her for coming up to four years. Been very reliable engine wise until yesterday. Got in it in the morning to turn it round to hitch a trailer on and it started perfect as ever. Did the three point manouvre and backed up to the trailer. Turned ignition off and hitched up trailer. Got back in and it wouldnt fire up at all. I had a van that did this once before and it was the fuel filter so eventually tracked a new one down and got a lift and went and got one. Fitted new one no problem. Primed the fuel line and it fired up after several turns and was spot on. By now it was late afternoon so didnt go to work (self employed). Left it overnight until this morning and again it wouldnt start.....turning over well but not even trying to fire up. Flattened battery trying so have spent all day charging. Tried some reset techniques for bsi (?) as posted on here but to no avail.
Dark now so Im leaving it but wondered if I should crack off an injector in morning to see if fuel reaching engine. Suggestions anyone.
Note: I live in a remote part of the Yorkshire Dales got a farm next door with plenty of garage stuff and Ive done plenty of DIY mechanicing over years but dont have a code reader. Any suggestions welcome.
