Year of Manufacture *: 2006 Engine Size and Code *: 2.5D CRD
Don't know if anyone else has the misfortune to work on these vehicles. This one was towed in to us cut out won't start. On turning the key it sounded just like a flat battery but I soon realised that the battery was fully charged. Checked the starter circuit and found that the earth to the starter relay disappeared as soon as the key was turned, then found fuse 18 blown (eng ecu)Disconnected all actuators that the ecu feeds but still blowing fuse. Then disconnected sensors in turn and found that the fuse remained intact with the maf disconnected. On closer inspection I noticed that part of the body was melted. When the new Maf sensor arrived it came with a modification kit for the air cleaner box, apparently they suffer with ingress of water which contaminates the maf and eventually kills it.
