  1. So I have no idea what could be wrong with my car. It started when I was revving it with some mates and then it sounded like a boost pipe had split as there was a whining noise that sounded like it was turbo related. So later that evening I was driving it to my friends garage and it’s just completely shut off and wouldn’t start. I ended up getting a tow from my friend the rest of the way there but it was too late to look at it. I went back the next morning with a code reader because it doesn’t make sense why it wouldn’t start if turbo had gone. It came up with a crankshaft sensor fault and I swapped it over and the code wasn’t there but still wouldn’t start. So decided to check the fuel relay and I can feel it clicking so seems like that is fine. I also can still hear the fuel pump whirring when I turn electrics on. I then removed a fuel line at a time and fuel seems to be flowing properly. I also took pipes off and intercooler and can’t see no splits or where it would pop off so I’m starting to believe my turbo could be fine and the noise might have been something else. Anyway I was just searching for what it could be and found one of my glow plugs has snapped so one of the cylinders didn’t have one working but that shouldn’t matter since it is not cold enough to need them. After we saw that we decided to spray some easy start in the intake and it started cranking better but sounds like it’s running ok three cylinders. I’m genuinely so confused on why it’s not running and any advice or suggestions would be appreciated and can answer any question. Need my car for work as I am a delivery driver.
