2509rdg Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Hi, I didn’t intend my first post asking for help. But I’m in a right pickle! So got my focus 2005 2.0 TDCI 2 weeks ago. 80,000 miles, Full history, one owner. Prefect for my needs. Wanted a diesel as I’m doing around 500 miles per week. So travelling home on A66. Had loss of power. Changed down a gear then completed lose of power and wouldn’t start! Gulp!!!! Nightmare. Anyway, got recovered home and recovery read codes. EGR valve. So being at my indie, said, yep we can fix it. They replaced the EGR and a new batt. Still won’t start! Has anyone got any advice? Don’t want this to turn into a parts replacement exercise and end up will a huge bill! Is there something simple they have missed? They have them my spare key in case it’s the immobiliser. Thanks Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pragmatix Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 A fuel filter change may be all you need, this exact thing happened to my brother, a filter change sorted it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrygadd2003 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Agree with Pragmatix. I bought a non-running Transit Connect 1.8L TDCI van. It had just had a new Bosch fuel filter and I was recommended to use a Delphi one. I also did a leakdown test on the injectors and found 3 were leaky so swapped these for refurbished ones. Filled the filter up full then fitted it. Van leapt into life. Another trick. Disconnect the rubber air inlet hose from the turbo and spray brake and clutch cleaner into the inlet pipe. If it fires up for a few seconds it points to fuel not getting through. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2509rdg Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 So after 5 weeks at garage! It’s running. So the following has being replaced. Battery high pressure fuel pump start motor EGR valve fuel rail reset immobiliser at main dealer It’s being a long wait, but I’m happy as the garage I bought it from has repaired it. At nil cost to me. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
