Hi guys......newbie needs some Fiat guidance if I can please.
My Fiat Ducato started running on after killing the ignition a few days ago, and today will not start; thinking that the problem was linked I started digging! I found out that fuel pump or fuel pump relay problems are common on the Ducato - I took the air filter pipe off and sprayed ez start straight into the inlet - she started to turn over roughly but died and had no response to the throttle being pressed - confirming that it is either a fuel pump or relay issue.
If I change the complete fuel pump assembly rather than the rotating core (inc sender unit if needs be); will this remove both the possibly faulty items, or is the relay located elsewhere???
Also, a mechanic at a local garage seemed to recall the diesel tank needs removing to change the lift pump - can anyone confirm his suspicions?
Thanks for any help you guys can give
