Thread: TD5 Radiator change - won't start

I don't know about the TD5 but the 200 Tdi has a electrical solenoid to the fuel pump which if not connected will not allow fuel in and so go for the donk.

The wire to this has come off once when I was fiddleing around under the bonnet doing maintenance works on the power steering and radiator leads

Just a thought???????

Have you bumped the inertia relay located on the engine bay firewall passenger side. This will stop your fuel pump from operating. To reset, press the rubber boot at the top. If this trips, the hazard lights normally come on.

Another possibility for the starter turning over but not starting is a faulty connection to the crank angle sensor which is located at the top of the gearbox, close to the engine.

Fuel pump works OK, runs for the usual 30 seconds, then stops. The crank sensor is another thing I was worried about, I did have to remove the 2 bolts at the top of the flywheel housing (it's an auto) to get at the oil cooler return pipe hose clamps (now replaced with screw/worm drive clamps!!). Perhaps a good look around the top of the trans is called for.
