    Great work Leon! Back to the basics 😁 Ohmmeter not good for continuity checks... Instead just put a second test light at the other end of the wire from B+; if both bulbs are dim then continuity is good 👌

    Appreciate the basic tools trouble shooting video. There is not much on the internet for how a non-mechanic can find a problem in the wiring and relay/controller. I'm going to take a look at my sister's car later today and see what I can find,

    Hi I work on these vans every day and the glow plugs don’t stop the van starting even in cold weather of England. I noticed that you were leaving it long enough for the immobiliser light to go out before turning the key to crank the engine. Most drivers just turn the to crank straight away which should start it , the problem has nearly always been a faulty air mass meter or connections to it and it probably revs up slowly lacking power setting off. Letting the immo light go out bypasses the fault.
    Just to let you know hope you don’t mind.

    hi good video mate.i noticed when you put your test lamp from battery positive to the glow plug tip it was very bright and after your put in a new fuse and checked with the test lamp again the light seemed a lot dimmer.maybe still a fault or short.

    Great job! But it's absolutely criminal that the previous mechanic just threw in a new set of plugs and didn't even check if they're getting power.
    Hope the customer left a bad review for them so that other people don't get caught out..

    Now that was very interesting. I'm going to make quite a long comment having a little while ago ressurected an identical van with a number of issues, and so very cheap. I also took the ground up approach, in my case just to see if I could.
    One of the things, I went through all that you just did. Different problem, but sorted. It concerned me how quickly the dash heater plug light went off. Now a year later I can say it starts up straight even on cold frosty mornings, no prob. Seems to be the way they are.
    I have had one breakdown. Tootling along everything lovely - engine cut out. Even before I had rolled to a stop I thought - the diesel has cut off. Did all the usual - pipes filter etc. Checked the crankshaft and cam sensors. Then I did use a computer, couldn't think of any other way to ascertain the fuel rail pressure. Fuel control solonoid "circuit open or shorted". It has a white wire to the ECU. The ECU has loads of white wires going to it. I have a workshop manual - no engine wiring diagram. I hunted the internet, I used a VPN for different search results and all sorts of trickery - no engine diagram. I ended up dismantling the wiring loom to find out which plug the wire went to. Then reassembling it afterwards. By far it was the longest part of the job. It was a faulty fuel control solonoid. This overloads the injection pump which causes a couple of "O" rings inside to burst - So causing the pump to just wash. Thus protecting the injection pipes etc. The "O" rings are cheap, the pump is expensive. If someone is paying for your time it is doubtless cheapest and most certain to change the pump.
    Be delighted if you know where an engine wiring diagram is available.

    • @Gilespargiter
      @Gilespargiter 2 роки тому

      BTW in the history it showed the fuel rail pressure rising sharply to a ridiculous pressure then fall to only a couple of bars.

    If the Glowplugs are connected in parallel , with a common metal strip or wire, your first test would not show up a faulty glowplug. Disconnecting the wires to the glowplugs and then doing that test would be the only way to be sure.

Thanks 🙏 I’m only asking because I’ve seen so much conflicting information on forums etc. thanks.

    Damn. I got excited that I have the same problem until no power at the glow plug module. I have a Renault trafic 2008 with no glow plug light showing (van just stopped suddenly and wouldn’t restart). All fuses good, good glow plugs, new gpm, relays good. Getting 11.8V on small wires in gpm. No codes on my scan tool. Frustrating indeed 😩

      I had the same problem. I paid for a mobile electric mechanic who was useless. Sold the van as spares or repairs, even though worth 3k. A bloke bought it on ebay and later told me it was a frayed wire on the ECU. Gutted..!
