Hi Mike,

The vehicle does not go into limp mode.

You may be right about the sensor. It may be worth purchasing a new sensor.

Is it a pig of a job?

I have a workshop manual on cd

and a haynes manual.

cheers

Hi foggieloon.

 

I had a similar problem with my GV.

It started with an intermittent speed reading, that sometimes stuck at 55mph and if you went over a bump the needle would jump up to 70mph.

Then wouldn't work at all.

 

I traced this down to a bad connection from the speedo (tacho) needle connections to the circuit board.

It's an easy fix, I just soldered the block back onto the pcb and carried out the dash self calibration then happy days, it's not let me down since ?

I hope this helps.

Sorry for the delayed reply, I got one of those Bosch Fuel pressure relief valves fitted from eBay and it works perfectly, definitely worth a punt as apposed to fitting a Chrysler recommended complete fuel rail that I've read on here is approx £1500.

Much appreciated feedback.

Thanks again.

Np, this forum has helped me a lot with the quirks on the most practical car i've owned so i try to help when i can

Lovely! I've sent a mail to check it's compatibility thanks for the help, much appreciated

Thanks for the info, I've done a leak off check at idle and it does look like the pressure relief valve is duff. I've struggled to get the right one and can't find a Bosch dealer with this part?

 

I've been on eBay and the numbers off the head of my valve don't match theirs.

 

The number I have are

 

13 07 15 001

1017 515

 

Where did you get yours from, I might be missing a trick here.

 

Thanks again.

 

Stefan.

I've checked power to the glow plugs, it has 12v to all 4 and checking the glow plugs the aren't open circuit, so have connectivity through the heater coils. No 1 and 4 are going to be a real git to get to :-/

Thanks for the info, it's another avenue to explore.

Hi all, apologies if this has been covered before.

I've searched but have had no luck.

 

I have recently bought a 06 GV 2.8 CRD, I absolutely love it, nothing has this much room or comfort without buying a Vito or T5 combo.

But it's started being difficult to start.

At first I thought it was an immobiliser issue because when starting it will cough and fires on one or two cylinders then continues cranking without starting.

 

I tried unlocking again to make sure it wasn't immobilised then if I continue to crank eventually it will start then runs with no problems, I drove at varying speeds for 40 miles at the weekend without fault, up until I had to start it 3 hours later to come home. So immobilized is ruled out.

 

The cars sales I brought it from said it had a starting issue and they replaced the whole fuel filter and housing (this is on the front of the engine) And it has been good up to now (a month later). So this is ruled out also.

 

Having looked through this forum I've done the 'key

dance' and I've got P1130 which is pointing to the fuel rail sensor?

 

Has anyone else had this issue, advice would be greatly appreciated.
