C4GP MK2 unable to start

Unread post by Mazzy7126 »

Can anyone offer advise please.
My C4GP won't start. It tries to turn over and then says engine fault. Trouble is can't run diagnostics as eco mode now active. Any ideas how I where I start to look or how can diagnose please?

What engine? Does it crank for a few seconds then stop?

It tries to turn over then clicks a few times. Checked battery and that is fine. It's the 1.6 hdi. Managed to start it but diagnostics won't run, saying connect vci. Engine fault light has gone off and starting ok now. My Dad was just testing various bits and now seems OK.

Does the VCI connect to another vehicle (if you have access to one.)?
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
