Not really familiar with deisels (devils work) but if you can find the crankshaft sensor, give it a clean and try again. Should be above the gearbox and under the air filter.

Hi if the immobiliser light is staying on when cranking then that is your fault, it will not give live to the glow plugs/injectors because of that.

Does you plip work locking and unlocking the doors?

Hi guys,

I am new to this and it my first ever post in the car forum world in all the years I have been messing around with cars, not sure where to post this and I believe I have a similar problem to danny danny, however desperate times need desperate measures so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I brief bit of info, I purchased a 2002 clio 172 with timing belt failure to make into a track, due to the extent of the damage I sourced a new engine with only 62k on the clock happy days. Anyway replaced timing belt along with a new dephaser while the engine was out to be sure, now for the not so good part.

Fitted the new engine In the car and re loomed everything all seemed ok, I then tried to start the car and nothing as if it's completely dead.

Checked all the basics battery, starter motor etc still nothing.

When I put the key in the ignition the immobiliser light stays solid red and doesn't go out as I believe it should correct me if I'm wrong, the car is also fitted with a factory upgrade sigma m32 immobiliser but I dont think this is the problem and I intend on removing this as it's not required anyway.

The central locking and everything works fine all lights illuminate on the dash, although I think there may be a bad earth somewhere as when I remove the key some lights still stay faintly lit after.

I was hoping for some ideas where to start next if any of you guys have had a similar problem, the engine was out of the car for around 2 months along with the battery so not sure if any settings ECU/BCU could be lost.

please help think I have aged a couple of years trying to resolve the problem.

With the interior light acting like that it sounds to me like that uch (located up behind glove box) is nakerd, this was a common sign when they have failed.

hi mat is there any way of testing the unit to check it

 

[Mat Jones]

There's not a way of checking it 100% apart from stripping it an checking for visual damage. I would put good money on your fault being that though. I've taken some pics today of how to remove an check and I will post a thread when I get home on how to do this. Also adding some other interesting info. That's if nobody has already done this?

 

[Jordan28]

mat that would be great thanks.
