200tdi won't start

(1/4) > >>

Axetamer:
I've just tried to start my truck today to roll it out and change the disks for the MOT, now it refuses to start, I have fuel to the injectors when the unions are undone, it turns over but refuses to fire, it was running fine when I parked it less than 36 hours ago, has had a recent lift pump about 100 miles ago,

any ideas?

J.D.:
Take the oil filler cap off, watch the rockers while someone else turns the key. If they are not moving, the timing belt (cambelt) has snapped.

The fact you have fuel at the injectors rules out the fuel stop solenoid or the injector / lift pump.

Axetamer:
The rockers all move ok when cranking, I did the cambelt about 500 miles ago, the feed pipe from the lift pump jets out fuel when cranked too...I'm baffled

Ridgeback:
I had the same problem a few weeks back. It ran fine the last time I used it then just would not start.
I got a mate to tow it and I bump started it. Its running fine now and starts first go every time.

Not sure why it would not go but all sorted now.
I put it down to a fuel filter blocked and not letting the correct volume of fuel through ?

Axetamer:
Right, took the rocker cover off completely and disaster...number 8 rocker arm has broken, pushrods are bent indicating the either the cambelt has jumped teeth, ( which I doubt) or my suspicion is that the arm off the old lift pump has finally revealed its location,  I couldn't find it when I changed it despite fishing around with a flexi magnet in the lift pump aperture and even having the sump off...so what now? a secondhand motor or pull this one for a strip and complete rebuild...***k*n B****cks
