Hi again guy's, I have a problem, think I know the cause but wanted to run it by you before I spend the cash!
Firstly ive had a bad starting fault for over a year (there is another thread on here trying to get to the bottom of it that I will link later) In the end I decided to use a local diagnostic garage that id been recommended. He cleared all the fault codes and told me to drive it a bit till it came back then he would re check it. But in the week I had it back I blew the turbo!
He then proceeded to fit a new (recon) turbo, along with all the associated filters and oil. He also changed one of the injectors as a fault code kept returning.
The car drove fine but the starting problem was still there (although not as bad, possibly due to warmer weather) (glow plugs are new).
Anyway the starting problem became worse again the last 2 weeks, then tuesday driving on the motor-way at about 70-80mph the engine hesitated for a second then carried on no problem. Later that evening driving home though town it wouldn't rev past 3000-3500 rpm. The next day it wouldn't start, no attempt at all to fire the engine and i couldn't hear the low pressure fuel pump at all. i left the car and used the wife's for 2 days. just had a look at it again and it started (low pressure fuel pump could be heard again) and if i hold the throttle down it will rev to 3500 rpm and a second later the engine management light comes on.
Is it a fair assumption that the low pressure fuel pump is nearly dead and that has progressively got worse causing the bad starting to deteriorate and then ultimately cause the rev limiting symptom due to fuel starvation resulting in the engine management light coming on?!!!
FEW! That was a long story, but it has the detail so hopefully you can help me! PLEASE
