Fabia 1 1.4TDi 2007 Not Firing, Any ideas ?

Not sure about those numbers to be honest. The car worked well until it stopped and both sensors were less then two years old. With the garage putting in the crank and myself the cam.

I wonder if the ring on the crank is broken and I just haven't seen it. Very strange how a hint of life started with the new sensor and then nothing at all.

Was a new crank sensor fitted recently, or not since 2 years ago?

If a new one was fitted recently and you don't know for sure that it was a correct match to the VW group number I posted above, I wonder if you got the wrong type installed.

When I bought the car 3 years ago the engine light and glow plug would sometimes flash for a while and then go away. Happened when the engine was revved fast (wife driving...!!!)

OBD said speed sensor so I changed the cam and the garage the crank sensors two years ago.

No change. Sometimes the lights came on but they always went away again after a while.

One month ago car just wouldn't start one morning. Apparently it had felt like missing a beat every now and then. I never felt it. OBD said speed sensor so I changed cam and crank sensors three weeks ago. No change with cam but a little life in the tacho for a handful of tries when crank changed. Managed to get a new 'IMMO off' ECU last week but no change at all.

Thnking now wires or reluctor ???

That means it must be something else...!!!

Well the wiring from ECU to sensor checks out. No shorts.

Looks like the scrapyard, what a shame.

Pity, but a car that won't start isn't a lot of use.

Could be worth your while removing the drivers side window motor and selling separately, before scrapping. Should be worth decent money. If the windows work, that is!

I'm afraid not...!!! Both front windows are siliconed up...hehe

Oh, well if the driver's side motor is still there, sell it to me for a few quid, I can fix em. 😁

I can look before scrapping and you can have it for postage.
