Thread: TD5 won't start

Is your fuel pump running when the ignition is turned on, should go for about 30 seconds each time. You can normally hear this when you go close to the tank. If not, the problem could be in a relay under the drivers seat (This happened to us once). Else the inertia relay may be tripped.

Whilst under the drivers seat, is there oil on the base of the seat box - sure sign of oil in the wiring loom.

If the fuel pump is running, can you hear the starter solenoid relay click when trying to start. If yes, possible connection fault, low battery or starter solenoid problem.

The only sensor on the TD5 which will stop the engine running is the crank angle sensor.

Do you have a FOB with the key - flat FOB battery?

Does it crank and not fire? if so check you fuel enertia swich on the firewall passenger side..just push it down and you should hear it click..

Worth a try

Thanks Erich,
I will have a look under the seat. I had the Crank angle sensor replaced last service. It's a bit hard to hear the fuel pump because of the traffic noise.

No, it won't crank at all.

If its an Auto its not something silly like not in P or N, if its a manual can you put it in gear and rock it make sure the starters not jammed..


Sounds like a dead battery.

Have had that with mine try this…. taking the key out lock it with the fob, unlock it and try again …works for me every time.
