C18RCH Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Now that I'm getting to the stage where it's almost finished I tried to start the 110 for the first time in nearly 2 years today. Unfortunately no fuel seems to be getting through the injector pump. I've cracked the injectors at the pump and no fuel is getting through. It's getting as far as the pipe from the filter to the injector pump. I've checked the fuel cut off switch and that's fine. The pump is also turning at the timing belt end. I've followed the Haynes manual method of loosening the return pipe to bleed the system but this seems to have no effect. What else could I try or it be? I should probably also add its a 200tdi Cheers, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 have you got 12v at the fuel solenoid ? if yes, try starting with the solly's plunger & spring removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C18RCH Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks for the reply. Yeah, 12v at the solenoid. You can also hear it clicking on and off if you remove the wire. Will try removing it though next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 have a look at these fault diagnosis charts.they may help pin the problem. diesel fault diagnosis chart.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgnas Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks for the reply. Yeah, 12v at the solenoid. You can also hear it clicking on and off if you remove the wire. Will try removing it though next time. Double check there is 12v while cranking. Most circuits are turned off in the cranking position. I had the choice of two "white" wires on a rebuild. One of them went dead on cranking, took ages to find the fault! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazza Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Have you checked that the supply and return pipes from the tank are connected to the correct points on the tank, I mixed up mine during the rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C18RCH Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Yeah, return and supply are right way round. Took the solenoid out today. Now have fuel to the injectors so will be getting a new solenoid for it tomorrow. Thanks for the replies everyone. Cheers, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C18RCH Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Turned out not to be just the solenoid. Double check there is 12v while cranking. Most circuits are turned off in the cranking position. I had the choice of two "white" wires on a rebuild. One of them went dead on cranking, took ages to find the fault! You were sort of right. The white to the fuel solenoid is definitely the right one as it is the only one I have left spare but there was no voltage when cranking. After checking the ignition, it appears that the white and black wire is missing. I've put a temporary wire from the ignition straight to the fuel solenoid as a temporary fix to allow me to start and move it. Got it running today for the first time in two years! Anyway, by not having the white and black wire is there anything else that may be affected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 on a 200tdi the fuel solenoid wire is plain white according to my wiring info in workshop manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C18RCH Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah, the fuel solenoid is plain white but as far as I can tell from the Haynes manual and a wiring diagram of the ignition, the white and black is what provides 12v while cranking to the plain white circuit?
