Hi Guys
I`m new to the forum, so you`ll have to bear with me, I`ve got an issue with my 2.5 tdi v6. The car has never missed a beat, starts up first turn of the key everytime. However the other night it started up as usual and I covered about 2 miles and the engine just cut out and from that moment on it wont start.
I carried out all the checks I could think of which led me to believe the injection pumps ecu to have failed or possibly the injection pumps mechanics, anyway a long story short I removed the pump and sent for test where it was diagnosed to be faulty 1. the pumps timing piston had siezed in it`s housing and 2. It had an issue with the fuel quantity solenoid.
Anyway I got the pump fully reconditioned including a new ecu on it, then refitted it, now the car will start for a second and then shut down. I have 2 fault codes stored - P1570 engine start blocked by immobiliser, and - 00542 OPN/SHT to poss/SP needle lift sensor G80,
As the most likely cause for the needle lift sensor fault is air in the system I am ignoring that fault, but I believe that on 2002 or newer cars you have to get the injection pumps ecu coded to the vehicle, is this correct ? and is there any way of myself being able to do that with my code reader, which is a handheld unit but does give me the opportunity to code, adap, etc.
Reading through various threads I believe this may be possible if I had the secret key code(SKC). any info or comments would be appreciated.
