my car just failed yesterday (52 plate)

I had been driving it during the day - no issues what so ever

then it seemed to loose all power - pulled over, turned the engine off

then nothing - turns over but does not start

I am presuming it is the high pressure fuel pump !!

although the AA man seemed to think the ECU is knackered as he could not get a reading on his OBD reader

I am recharging the battery and will try my own version of VCD later today - and see if I can get some codes out of it

any other thoughts?
 
Hi. Yes he did - but just the ones in the panel at the end of the dash, not sure if there are any more

Its a good point will check in the manual

Thanks
 
For me it seems like the VP44 gave way, but I could be wrong. The PSG uses to fail due to the heat it gets. Newer ones are better.

mmm, yes that looks like the high pressure pump - I fear so too

the garage are going to try and look at the codes on the ECU tomorrow - although I still can't read the ECU with my version of VCDS lite

but I must admit I have not tried for a while - it is on an old laptop

ok, got my VCDS-lite working

the reason it would not connect before was fuse 12 blown (diagnostics) , the AA guy did not spot it!!

anyway I did not have too much time as the car is parked at the garage - but the initial(interesting) fault was

Engine Start Blocked by Immobilizer
17978 - P1570 35-10

few other were listed - I have needle lift sensor (G80) for the last 8 years and 180K - lol

so we will see
 
car scrapped :-(

replaced with this - I think I got a pretty deal
