Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Davecrx is not allowed to play as he knows the answer Another MS conversion I had a call on - which "Wouldn't run" It was a "Come tonight money calling" type call SO I went......... Checked ALL the wiring - fine Swapped Edis and Pigtail Swapped VR Swapped ECU Changed Plugs Checked spark = YEP Check VR Gap Checked Coils and wiring to Coil Packs etc Swapped CTS (getting desperate) Checked TW setting Swapped plug leads for mine Swapped VR Sensor Tried easy start - sort of fired Checked Fuel pressure - Fine Fuel pump ran and relays worked Swapped relays Megatune all looked ticketyboo and OK And a load more - so Best guesses Why didn't it start ? Answer (if nobody gets it) will share tomm night And he was not happy at the reason why it didn't run (Hint) Off you goes ...........

zim Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 I'm guessing it wasn't getting fuel for some reason - as you say it's got spark and i'm assuming air, tried to fire when spraying 'fuel' into the air inlet? fuel pipes on the wrong way round ? or were you trying to make a diesel v8 ?

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 I was about to type Nooooooooooo It got fuel and was plumbed right But you've got it was a 200 tdi A tank full of F Diesel doesn;t help Christ it smoked a tad when I plumbed in petrol I now won't take anything for granted with MS Conversions - a real winner Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 If I was being picky I'd ask why you swapped stuff that you can see is working on the laptop (like CTS) Good one though, it's almost always something daft, and I'd say that qualifies!

landroversforever Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Why has it got coil packs if its a Tdi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Why has it got coil packs if its a Tdi? :hysterical: Used to be a Tdi, now it's not. Engine type conversion often needs fuel type conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davecrx Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Wasn't fair that i could play Having done a tdi to v8 swap i really cant see how he managed to forget to drain out the Diesel. He must of installed a fuel pump at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
