This is a customer I have not seen for a while. He called to say that the vehicle had just cut out at a junction and non restart
AA relayed to a local garage and they came up with 6 codes, checked all fuses, swapped a few parts including new fuel filter and 2 days later gave up, it was then relayed on to me
005121 EGR Valve (N18) Short to ground
012546 Motor for Intake Manifold flap (V157) No signal
012545 Motor for Intake Flap (V157) Open or short to ground
000581 Solenoid Valve for boost pressure control (N75) Short to ground
006422 Relay for coolant After Run (J151) Short to ground
005377 Fuel pump relay (J17) Short to ground
I also checked all the fuses but could not see any blown.
Checking with the customer, he then told me he had a scan a few months back as the MIL came on and he thinks it was for the Intake Manifold Flap
I then checked on Vivid all the fuses to see if there was any one common to most of the faults (components)........Fuse 34 (10 amp)
Went back to the car again and this time pulled the fuse out and when held up to the light it had a hair line gap, replaced fuse, cleared all codes and this time fuel pump primed and it started
5 minutes later it stopped with fuse blown again. The customer agreed to change the Intake Manifold Flap valve. The cars now been running fine for a few days
Lesson learned, just because the fuses look ok, they may need a closer inspection (should have gone to spec savers)
