Hi all my small local garage(I have been having services etc there for 30 years) fitted a new water pump belt kit yesterday
when it was done pressed the starter it fired the stopped he checked everything again engine spins fine but wont start.
he then put a new c/case sensor on checked every thing was connected etc still wont fire up
It was running fine when I took it round yesterday and when he drove it into the workshop .
He put his reader on poss air intake faults.
All he has done is taken the big hose with swirl flaps in it put it all back and connected it up

HELP PLEASE ANYONE? gone

Did he put the timing belt on correctly?
Why play with the intake manifold when doing the timing belt? 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

Verify the camshaft sensor. It's electrical connection and its position versus the camshaft sprocket. It may have been moved.
Without it, it's impossible for the ECU to determine when the Cyl.1 is at TDC. Result: a not starting engine.

Hi Alex
he did check it twice but your mention of the position of the camshaft sprocket could poss be the problem.

I will get him to check again tommorrow


Cheers

I had this when a garage did my timing belt . when it was put back together
the crank sensor was pushed in too far and damaged the crankshaft reluctor ring, witch had to be replaced .
 Every time I learn something new,something old gets pushed out of my brain?

Cheers for that V8
another thing to mention

Probably because it makes it harder to get the engine top cover off and then that removed gives a lot more access to camshaft
pully to help with removing and replacing the belt

cheers for your input

There is a very slim chance the replacement CS is duff. Had that happen to me.

On renewing the belts etc I decided to replace my CS as a preventative maintenance thing but had to put the old one back on

Thanks Chips
if the above fail will get him to try that next
cheers

Had something similar happen to me a couple of weeks ago after my cambelt change. Would turn over fine, but not start. Ran diagnostics and came back as camshaft sensor.

Unbolted it, unplugged it, gave her a wipe down and then reattached and she went away fine as if nothing had been wrong. Still not sure what was up there, only thing i can think of was position was off slightly, even though the locating pin should stop that.

Thanks to all who gave valuable help and hints all is now well.
After he took everything off (obviously not water pump new tensioner etc) started from scratch put it back together it started possibly the timing was out a smidge but happy ending
while there he gave the battery a overnight charge when he checked it the reading was not great so with winter coming I have ordered a Varta f18 as I see many on here have done bought from Battery Mega Store for £90 next day del and a decent 5 yr warranty

Thanks again
