OKay
so I cleaned my whole inlet / ERG assembly this week (minus the actual manifold)- and boy was it cruddy I suspect 233K worth of muck (I have some pics I can post)
anyway cleaned it all up with petrol etc - put it back on, pretty straightforward
connected all the vacuum pipes and electrical connectors (obvs I have checked and double checked this)
and this morning turned the key (it has always started 100% on the button)
and a v v slight "catch" then nothing - and it just seems to spin (and maybe a bit faster!!!) - its like it has an immobiliser fitted
so what I have done so far, not much just rechecked all the pipes and connectors, primed the fuel pump
used the spare key (see immobiliser point above)
I am going to see if it is throwing any error codes
but any help to try and reduce the problem by elimination would be appreciated - I have never had to deal with a non starting diesel before (well apart from a Audi TDI and that turned out to be the injector pump so was scrapped!!)
