Nope no smoke at all. No smell of fuel in the engine . Definitely a bit rough running. Am going to change the fuel pressure regulator next. Have ordered one today as unlike when it goes into limp mode for other faults and the speed is limited with this it will continue up to motorway speeds but just takes longer to get there.

Hi all. After help again please! I have a 2010 for two cdi that has developed 2 fault codes- P0190 and P0193 indicating a fuel pressure issue. Have replaced the easier stuff first like fuel filter and fuel rail pressure sensor but the fault is still there. The car drives but a bit sluggish on acceleration and definitely no kick down acceleration. I can clear the fault codes but after a couple of runs the fault is back. Wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this and if any suggestions as to what it could be. Next for me I’m thinking is the fuel pressure regulator. Also has anyone taken a pressure reading off the fuel rail and what pressure should you be getting if the system is working normally? Thanks for any assistance.

So fingers crossed it looks like the car is fixed. Mjolinor mentioned checking the earth on the engine and I had a look and wasn’t overly pleased with it. Looks like it had been stretched and crushed slightly which I am putting down to having the water pump replaced before Christmas. The garage told me they had to drop the engine on one side to get access and the timeline for the issue ties up with this. Have fitted a universal part from Halfords today and it has started on the button since. Not overly pleased with the quality of the new earthstrap but for a fiver I wanted to see if it would fix the issue. Have just received a Smartmod kit to replace both the battery and engine earth and these are much more substantial so will fit these Monday. Would just like to say thanks for the advice all! Will definetly be looking on here again for any future issues!

I’m taking it that the garage means no voltage on the thin wire as that comes from the Sam unit? I can’t get under the car myself as don’t have access so am relying on them. I should be able to check the earth though so will have a look at it. Thanks for your help.

No damp at all! Appears to be very dry around the battery and Sam unit is in very good condition.

Hi all. I hope someone can give me a bit of advice or has seen this fault before. Just after Christmas the car failed to start after we had been using it and we had to be recovered to my garage. With the key inserted everything appeared normal with the cluster display normal and various relays clicking as usual. All appeared normal just no start up. The garage found a fault code related to the immobiliser which they cleared and the car started no problem. Then about 10 days ago the car was in the garage for a drive belt replacement and wouldn’t start when I went to collect it. The garage did a bit more fault finding and there was no voltage at the starter motor. There was an immobiliser fault code again which was cleared and subsequently the car started- 12volts was then at the starter motor as expected. Tried to start and stop the car a few more times and didn’t fail so I took the car home. Used it at the weekend and ended up getting recovered home again as the car would not start and wouldn’t bump start either. At the moment the car is on my drive not doing anything. All the lights and relays appear to be normal? Has anyone seen this before or had similar. Am now awaiting an auto electrician to come and look but any ideas would be greatfully received!
