Hi folks...I'm having a bad hair day
After replacing the water pump and a few other jobs, put everything back and the engine turns over but will not run apart from trying the instant the glow plug lamp goes out for a second or so.
It's a 2002, TD4, manual with Synergy 2A & Pierburg MAF. The car has had no problems starting in the past. As a "Newbie" of sorts on diesels, I am stumped
This is the work done:
Removed Camshaft cover and Injectors to check condition of Camshafts & chain-call it preventative maintenance inspection (All is good).
Replaced frayed vac. hose from turbo valve to plastic vac. tank.
Replaced water pump/stat assembly.
Oil & filter change, air filter change, main serpentine belt change.
Upon reassembly, new gaskets fitted to Camshaft cover & inlet manifold.
Injector seals replaced and Injectors refitted to original positions.
During dismantling, the fuel rail was disconnected from injectors. When the engine would not run I cracked the fuel feeds to each injector in case there was air in the pipes..there was and I tightened the nuts when fuel was flowing freely from all injectors-I understand the TD4 is supposed to be self bleeding.
The electrical connectors I recall unplugging were : MAF, Inlet manifold, camshaft sensor and injectors....all have been treble checked and the synergy MAF connector will only go one way.
The battery has gone flat through trying so I have put it on charge overnight.
Apologies for the long thread but I wanted to give as much information as possible.
I look forward to getting any input, especially from TD4 gurus.
Cheers guys
