Hi all,
My dad has a 2003 75 cdti. He's had it from new. About a year and a half ago it just wouldn't start. AA man came down and we checked and there was no fuel flow at the fuel filter (low pressure side of the system) so we assumed the fuel pump had died. Had it taken to a dealer and it started working again and they had no idea why.
Car has been fine since and then it did it again the other day. Took back to the same dealer. Again, started working spontaneously and consistently.
Has anyone seen these symptoms before? I know fuel pumps are a common'ish failure, but we're talking an 18 month period of it working fine inbetween so I doubt it'd that.
Perhaps a dodgy intertia switch? Is there a tilt switch on the car anywhere? I'm wondering if loading it up on the recovery truck may have re-set something. It's very strange, and annoying! :0
Thanks
