Hi guys well I've bought a insignia finally.
Its a 09 2.0cdti 160
I bought it cheap so obviously it as a problem,
Well here goes. The previous owner as owned the car since new, so got most of the service history.
Had a new clutch last Yr, and regularly serviced.
But he said his wife was driving and the auxiliary belt got chucked off. And stopped running after she drained the battery of its power so obviously got it recovered back home.
But they couldn't get it fired up so it was sat a month, and then out of mot.
So I bought it cheap.
Put a new belt on it there was no damage I even checked the timing was OK as I heard it could throw it out.
So new battery and engine is turning over but not firing.
I phoned rac out he plugged his machine in came up with some faults but I'd been unclipping some sensors to clean them.
He said the main one was the crank sensor but I've replaced that today but it looked like it had already been replaced.
He said its possible it was a old code.
He also sprayed some carb cleaner into it but wouldn't fire up. He also said that there was no fuel pressure showing.
Anyway so I undid the main pipe from the pump to the fuel rail, and wasn't much at all that came out when cranking the engine over.
I would be grateful if any of you lads and lasses could help. Also the mileage is 124000
