#1: 2000 206 1.9 L D no power... Author: omaghman2, Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 12:12 pm ---- Hi there..
Ok, I just want to pass some info onto you...
I have a 2000 X reg 1.9 LD....
For a while, there has been a shortage of power.... My wife said it was the glowplugs... Bless.. She doesnt understand diesels...
Anyway.... We were coming back from the shops, and the power dropped to that of a lame donkey... I got the car home, parked it, then shut it off..
So, for shits and giggles, I tried to restart it... Yes, the car was upto tempreture, so it shouldnt be a glowplug issue... (Thanks honey...)
But it refused to start... Chugga, Chugga, Chugga.. Accompanied with a clicking that I havent heard before......
So, this is my diagnosis... And, if it's wrong, please do let me know...
I think that the fuel shut off solanoid is not opening, preventing fuel getting into the system and burned....
I have removed the air filter completly.. as in the whole airbox... and it still doesnt start ...
So, am I right???
Many thanks in advance
Simon

Basically just like a throttle valve on a petrol. However, on the diesel they are either fully open of fully closed. they close when you switch off to give instant shut down rather than any run on or that judder to a stop that some diesels have. Perhaps this is sticking and isn't opening properly.

The fuel shut off solenoid on the fuel pump, I checked that, it does open and close, so that's not the problem. I think it's either the low pressure pump in the tank, or the high pressure pump in the engine bay... now, since the high pressure ones are a fortune, even second hand ones... so I am going to try to find a low pressure one in a breakers to see if it's that....
When I have the tank off, I will check the fuel lines... you might be right commandosqueak, but I will try everything I can....
