S2 ABY Wont start

[Biggss2]

Its at the unit mate and I won't be there until tomorrow, you can join the 2 pipes together for now if the leak is too bad, it won't cause a issue.

Ok mate, let me know as soon as you possible please

Many thanks

worst case scenario for the car new fuel pump, not the end of the world.
worse for you if you go on a long journey before you build up confidence its really fixed and you break down.
when mine went for the final time it was a recovery truck job.
just proceed with a bit of caution and get a few miles and start ups under your belt!!

Yep definitely drive it around local for a while..

Any joy James?

Getting to know the problem was the hard part, worst case scenario new fuel pump?

might just be a dodgy connection as you say,just be careful. thats exactly how mine was and i thought i'd solved it just like you.
when its in place the pump has to overcome resistance from the fluid so when its getting worn/tired it can't quite get started. when you take it out fluid drains and it kind of frees itself off. when it goes back in it fires up no problem.
if you put a live and earth across it when out it worked no problem with zero resistance.
mine broke down about 5 times over the space of a few weeks and every time i took the pump out and "fixed" it.

I've got what looks to be a good auxillary rad mate

Any joy James?

Hi, I think it was bad terminals it was literally out of car cleaned with a cloth back in and she fired up!

I will check the lambda soon as I got home.. I was looking at getting a new fuel pump in it now anyway, quick search on google brings prices of £80-90 mark will give Gsf/euro/tps a go, was quite suprised with Gsf they don't really stock many parts for s2 he kept on telling me dealer only for things Like cps and lambda & knowing my luck il breakdown somewhere garrison with lapsed RAC cover!

pump could still be on its way out. mine did this a few times before it eventually went for good. had it in and out about five times after breaking down.

So - WTF with the fuel pump - physically blocked pipe or just a bad electrical contact on the pump terminals ?

As for lambda probe - measure the resistance across the 2-pin connector.

[Biggss2]

Yep that's fine James check it if it's alright il take it off you

[Jonnybravo]

£30 mate, let me double check it first for you.

[Biggss2]

How much posted mate? I've sourced one locally visually it looks smaller but has the same mounting points as the one that's come off the car?!

Update: fuel pump out.. Looked at... Back in and the car............... Wait for it......... has started!!!!

Main problem sorted.. Now moving on to the lambda that keeps blowing fuse and the fan
That is doing overtime

What a silly little problem causing soo much confusion

Also the auxiliary rad is shot so il be looking to source one of them too..

So glad it's started thanks everyone for all your help it has been emotional
