Title: 2.2 DTI wont start, which fault code reader?
Post by: Wayne G on 28 February 2010, 19:09:03

Hello all.  Trying to find a solution for my Dad.  He recently bought the nicest car he's had in his life, 02 or 03 (i've forgotten) 2.2dti Omega, and after a couple of weeks it just refuses to start any more.  Engine turns over fine, but doesn't sound like theres any deisel getting to the cylinders.  Wondered if anyone could tell me the connection(? ODB2?) or suggest a standalone FCR (for prep) that will work on it, obviously as cheap as pos.  Most seem to say they only work on post 2004 diesels.  Links to ebay would be hugely appreciated.  Or if its in Wilco or Halfords.  Cheers

Hi Wayne
I had starting problems with my 2.2 Dti. It was caused by leaking fuel injector seals. This allows fuel in the system to drain back to the tank. One indication of this fault is to keep the starter turning for a long time.(you will need a good battery) If it eventually starts it could well indicate that these seas have failed. It did on mine.
