Vauxhall Combo van wont start
Variant: 1.7 CDTI 16V
Model Year: 2007
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
just had a new starter motor and ignition
switch fitted
the alternator is also new the battery is fine
since ive got the van back from the garage it wont start the garage said its a electrical fault and theres nothink they can do
it did not have this fault prior to the work being done
took the van to another garage they cannot find a electrical fault
they replaced the crank sensor but no joy
I can not afford to throw money away in trying to find the fault so has anybody had the same problem and how did you fix it
im at the mercy of the garage as I no nothink about car mechanics

Should have claimed the garage that introduced the no start fault after repairs.Depends what it was in garage for originally , not knowing the full story doesn't help .Should have got it scanned and found a decent garage . Common fault of none/bad staring is glow plugs .With all the messing about with the electrics , checking the fuses wont go wrong .

Possibly edu module mounted on rear of engine block,soldered joint inside it breaks off the pin on the circuit board a good auto electrician should be able to repair it for you.

hi guys
just got my van back after having a bosch kts diagnostics test
basically said
error memory
malfunction
no communication
and a lot of error codes
here's the report from garage
charge rate of alternator ok but battery light on dash illuminated
during testing the alternator failed to charge this will cause problems in the future
ECU load signal checked
re-charged battery to ensure full voltage was being received by all control units
Checked all control units for fault codes and found all CAN communication faults between all units
Replaced crank shaft sensor due to previous known faults but this did not cure the fault
Removed ECU and body control plugs to inspect for corrosion on pins
performed wiggle test on all accessable wiring all ok
body control unit box has had water ingress that may have caused issues
next stage is to check if CAN is live and end resistors are ok
also a check of mains relay condition would be advisable
end of report
Now the above means nothink to me as I don't know anythink about
car mechanics so have you guys got any ideas on what to try next
or maybe you know what the problem is
the engine starts 1st time when cold but when the engine gets hot it will not turn over at all
