Car wont start up

[Kerry brauer]

 

Brought a s max less than a month ago and drives lovely when it starts, but most morning u go to start it up and its like luminations on dashboard

The latter could be litterally anything...

Ive ordered a ecu so hopefully that will fix it thanks

That sounds drastic at this stage. Did you really mean ecu?  Using a fault code reader might be a better first stage

hi,

there is a tiny wire going to the battery as with the time it oxides  and loose contact, computer will show all sort of errors like: engine malfunction, immobiliser malfunction, weak battery what you need to do just unscrew it, brush and clean put all together and problem should disappear.

Where abouts is the wire as ive changed ecu still doin the same thing so it might be this wire u told me about, but ive only just seen this sorry

I would say that you need to use a laptop with FORScan software and find out what actual problem is.

That's a bit generic. A code reader will not say "its the ecu". You need the actual fault code.

So you have replaced the "glow plugs" and also the "spark plugs" what kind of fuel does your engine run on ???

[Kerry brauer]

I think you need to use a new garage and also ask for a refund on the new spark plugs.

Afraid you have to take it to the ford main dealer to get it properly diagnosed, they will have the correct equipment & software diagnostic to do the job, other garages will use something generic which may work well on some cars and not so well on others.
