Year of Manufacture *: 06/07

Hi all

Any of you guys had any experience with these.garage fitted timing belt and water pump.
vehicle then did not start, they thought they had timing out so they removed cylinder head any had it checked all OK. I went to vehicle and found fuel pressure on cranking was 3mpa.

Fuel pump and injectors have been checked all OK, off the car at diesel shop.
new fuel filter fitted and bleed up.
fuel pressure switch 0.5v plausibility check ok.
new crank pulley fitted,hall effect set up.
vehicle fires on easy start.
actuator test OK on imv.
vehicle cranks over well but no fuel pressure.
any ideas

What a complete load of SH*T.

This person or people should not be allowed to operate or be allowed to service and repair motor vehicles. They clearly have no basic understanding of how a engine operates.

This will be a complete can of worms now. If the they failed to complete the task of replacing the timing belt and all the processes that are needed for this repair.

They will have no chance of dismantling half the engine and rebuilding correct.

I feel really sorry for the owner of this car. He is going to end up with massive bill and car that will never be the same as the day he dropped it off a new cambelt.

WHY do the government not regulate this trade. This would get rid of all the bandits and the genuine Repairs would benefit and the retail customer would benefit. Its a win win situation.

hi guys,this system has no primer just fuel filter with 2 pipes on it,supply and feed to pump.
i did notice after connecting volt meter to fuel pressure switch,and cranking the voltage slighly dropped to 0.4v but no sudden increase as one would expect.

Hi Mike,

What tests have been carried out on the low pressure supply circuit and what were the results?

What Darren said x2

This chain of events is a complete tragedy for the customer and their view on the independant garage trade.

As for the low fuel pressure, there will be no high pressure if there is a fault in the supply, including the quality and quantity of the fuel.

Mike

Did they renew the fuel filter at the same time as doing the belt ? If so Vac the return to draw the fuel into the system.

we had one towed in by aa non runner
developed normal fuel pressure for a vey short time at start of cranking but then dumped rapidly
there was a fault in wiring to injectors
could they have damaged wiring by being ham fisted while doing belt/pump
does scanner see injector events when cranking ?
could be wildly wrong but ?
