A final check over and a BSI reset then a ten mile burn up at 60/70mph and it's as sweet as a nut, all the fault code have disappeared and the EML is off.
Silly thought.

All back in business now.

Re: Silly thought.
I can't be sure Neil, it might have been any one of the many electronic bits on the pump or the fuel rail or the glow plug system or even just a bloody minded ECU.

Re: Silly thought.
Oh what a sickly sweet conclusion! I was hoping for a definitive answer to my Xantia HDi non-start.
I think I have to next go down the pump exchange route.
Did you ever check any of the wiring out Gibbo2286? I ask because I've crawled all over the wiring in mine and the insulation looks very aged and almost pitted. Perhaps this is the price of living in a diesel environment. Wires feel stiff to a few choice components but resistances check out fine so probably not corroded.

I think maybe you should do as I did, forget the diagnostics and try to get the thing bled right up to the injectors,Rhothgar wrote: ↑22 Aug 2020, 10:24 Oh what a sickly sweet conclusion! I was hoping for a definitive answer to my Xantia HDi non-start.

I think that mine was trapped air in the system between the hp pump and the injectors so not letting the pressure rise enough to fire them.
I bled mine by disconnecting the injector pipes one at a time and using a hand pump to suck up the fuel until it was clear of air right up to there, then it fired up with a shot of Easy-Start and kept going, not missed a beat since.
