Hi Guys,
And thanks for the advice so far. Unfortunately I'm still floating around poo-bay without a rudder! Whoever quoted Surf 2.4TD "the money pit" was spot-on I'm 3.5k down that road with an immaculate vehicle that don't go! Before I elaborate on my problem I'l relay the test result and see what you all think? My engine fault light has a single digit code and the code is two (2).:4.5 seconds after the ignition mode is engaged there are two distinct half-second flashes which takes just over a second, then 4.5 seconds later the two flashes repeat themselves, this carries on infinately without deviation until I release the ignition key. Fine, and thanks to Marky for getting me this far,however, I,ve been told that the fault list posted is for a U.S. Spec motor and not mine,Doh! Code 2 is not for Manifold and/or Airflow meter sensor signal circuit, or Manifold pressure sensor/cicuit? apparently (according to another knowledgeable source) it indicates Turbo boost pressure!
Now can any one confirm or deny this? my vehicle is a December 1992 LN130W EFI TURBO-DIESEL. I doubt, even if confirmed that there is a problem with the Turbo system as this worked perfectly up to parking in the garage where she sadly sits, perhaps this is a Red herring or the ECU is actually at fault albeit a less likely problem.
I haven't checked the timing as there's far too much gear to remove in a tiny garage to look, I know its not impossible, however it did drive home 5km off the A-road up a steep gradient, fully loaded, towing my caravan! she still starts first touch everytime and ticks over perfectly! surely if she'd slipped a tooth on the Cam-belt she'd at least run slightly lumpy! I still think its a fueling/timing/ phasing problem. something in the knock-sensor system either electrical (computer /sensor/ ecu) or mechanical (the pump advance and retard system) has failed, and unless someone out there has had the same problem or investigated either of the fault codes I've got to find a garage big enough for me to remove the pump for testing, whereby I'll eliminate or confirm the Timing belt scenario or take it to the Diesel pump specialist to do the same.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Gary.
