Unable to start 200tdi
Hello all

Recently done my timing belt/water pump. Once started I noticed an oil leak from the oil cooler pipe. Fixed that and noticed an oil leak from the oil filter housing. So took that off and cleaned the faces and put a new gasket in it. I also changed the oil pressure sensor as it was out.

Then it wouldn’t start? It was running fine (minus the oil leak) before. I have 12v at the pump and plugs, also have taken the injector pipes off and can confirm fuel coming out of them.

I’m a bit miffed as I can’t see why it wouldn’t fire up?

I'd relook at timing belt assuming you have fuel. How long did it run for after changing belt? Cheers

Air lock in the fuel line? Assuming the timing is correct, as said above. 1983 110 automatic OM606

Are you sure you have enough fuel, at enough pressure?

Have you got power to the fuel cutoff on the pump? Is it working correctly?

I would stick some brake cleaner down the air intake and see if it runs on that. If it does you have a fuel problem.

Didn’t run for long as had a leak, probably around a minute in total but had no indication it was coughing or low on fuel. Will try an easy start and see what happens.
