flashing glow plug light

[dsid85]

I recently purchased a 53 plate t230 lwb connect and when im driving the glow plug light starts flashing and goes into limp mode and its getting more regular. Ive had a diagnostic plugged in but it doesn't find any codes as when you turn it off it clears for a while? at a loss any ideas???

Injectors im afraid.

Any other symptoms such running rough at start up until engine gets warm? Any smoke?

[dsid85]

No runs spot on till light starts flashing no smoke bin told might be accelerator pedal sensor? Hope not there £149.

it means your van is fooked and it needs to be serviced at your local scrap dealer

Cheaper than a set of injectors!

Where did you get your codes read? may need to have it done again maybe at a dealers or diesel specialist.

[dsid85]

Just completely died this morning and won't start at all had diognostics on it again and found 2 codes
P1211. Injection control pressure sensor
Po251 injection pump fuel metering control A ?

Change filter 1st & make sure fuel is getting to pump, if it is then could be injectors or high pressure pump breaking up inside and not maintaining pressure

[Graham Taylor]

Check pump for any swarf and do a leak back test on the injectors.

[dsid85]

Can you do a leak test if it's not running as it still won't start

[dieselboy1978]

Yes you can do a cranking test to see if too much backleak

What dieselboy said

[dsid85]

Quick update took it to a diesel specialist all injectors nacked to get it running again put 1 injector in told to run it for 200 mile and take it back in 2 check the new injector if that ok then the fuel pump is fine if not pump nacked oh dear new fuel system £1700 . Cost me £240 already

[Graham Taylor]

If the pumps gone it will knacker the injectors and fitting one should make much difference. If its running now then probably just injectors. PM dieselboy for a price.

£1700?!
No where near that price
Daylight robbery
