berlingo 1.9 wont start

adam098

berlingo wont start,keeps turning,hazard lights come on,STOP light on dash,i disconnected batterie on joy

Mr.Diagnostic

Thats a stunning level of effort to structure a post.

Regardless, here is the answer for you.
There is a safety shut off switch (inertia switch) which is designed to "pop" in an accident. When it pops the fuel supply is shut off, hence no start, and the hazards are switched on, handy if its actually an accident situation. What happens with the berlingo is a spring on the suspension breaks and the resulting bang pops the switch. To get it started you just reset the switch but if I am correct and the road spring is broken you will need to get that changed too.

Where is this switch located ( for future reference)

Captain Slow IRL

It should be on the passenger chassis leg - open the bonnet and it should be looking straight at you - It's a big enough plastic block with a red rubber cover over the button.

Make sure it clicks and stays down after you push it.

I have a berlingo 1.9 diesel, it cut out the other day and I suspected I was out of diesel. I am now unable to re-start it. If the tank was out of diesel is there a procedure to prime the pump or something else I need to do to get the van started again

If its the 1.9 td diesel i could be the stop solenoid on the injector pump..
Have you had the fuel filter changed lately..??
Maybe crack open one of the injector pipes (quarter of a turn) and turn over engine and see if theres any diesel getting to the injectors...if not
then i'd check out the stop solenoid...Best of luck.

I have a similar thing with my 2000 Berlingo Van....Turn the key and it keep turning over without starting....I have however had it towed and that started it with very little effort...drive it miles....left it standing ticking over and it was fine....turn it off and tried again wouldn't start.

Thinking it was the starter motor....changed that...and its still the same:mad:

Any help would be greatfully appreciated I tell ya

Father had one of theses vans for a while. similar problems.
Fuel pump at fault first, then the relay to warm the glow plugs.
Changed both and was going fine after that.

the problem was water got into the fuse box under the steering wheel,badly sealed window to blame. look their for any sign of damage their. their is also some kind of reset button, its red with a rubber cover on it .find it in engine bay cant remember exactly where but its easly seen,it can trip, press that button and make sure it stays down it should click.try that.

If it were the fuel pump (injector you mean?) would it run with s jump? also with reguards the glow plugs would you expect it to start off the back of a 6 mile run after bumping off?

Thanks for your reply much appriciated...

The fuse box under the steering wheel is the bsi...which controls wipers,c/locking/imob/lights etc...the red reset button is the inertia switch shuts of fuel to the pump..should be located around the bulkhead area.

here's a pic of what it looks like.. http://www.gasgoo.com/auto-parts-trade/product-detail-LKQQROT/aftermarket-First-inertia-switch-YJ-12-3403.html

i dont know much about them to be honest, but that reset button cuts of the fuel system,its some kind of safety system, if the van is in a smash it cuts of the fuel supply. if this is the problem. it will not start until u reset that button. u might have to put it on diagnostics computer to find out the problem. might b the best thing to do.

Row

If it runs with a push then it may not be fuel related.
Is there any eml showing...?? is the engine turning over slowly..?? how is the
battery..??

i know a good mechanic i.ll give him a ring 2 moro. what is the spec of yours, whatever i might need 2 tell him about van. was their any work done on it lately or anything

Jollyboy

Cheers for that although I have looked and looked and can I hell as find anything that looks like that. The local Garage drained off water that was in the fuel filter and say that there is a solenoid on the fuel pump that is the problem (All welsh to me) Anyway it will start if you spray easy start aerosol into the air intake and runs fine...idols fine runs a dream (Done 60 miles in it) turn the key off and when you try it wont fire...hand break off one turn on the cog when jumping down hill and its away again

I will have another look for this switch/button but I may have to be done with an aerosol abusing butty van:D

Aye guys thanks for your help...really is a good doo

Its a 2000 (x) berlingo 1.9 diesel no work done recently although as above water was taken out of the filter (how it got in there baffles all)

These stop solenoids can fail...maybe worth popping one in and trying it.
Depends what pump you have Bosch or lucas the both have solenoids.

Have you got the starter checked.....are there any faults logged on
the engine ecu...??

berlingo 2006 1.9 there seems to be no cut of switch located anywhere, van had bump on front and now wont fuel the engine , any ideas where to look??

mickdw

IM sure its there somewhere.
They used to have a big red button under the bonnet that you would have to push
