Hi, I have a 2007 Fiat Scudo Panorama 2 Litre diesel 120 M-JET SWB MPV. Brilliant car version of the van!
The Scudo has been well maintained and serviced (inc cam belt) but nothing done to it since before the pandemic....have only done approx 80000 miles from new with a major engine rebuild about 5 years ago.
Went to use it yesterday and it started but then almost immediately stalled.
Now it will not start at all. The engine turns over on the starter as normal but will not start.
Problem i have is it is stuck on the drive and I live rural, so the nearest garage is miles away. Plus they cannot fit it in for 3 weeks!
Have searched this forum but am unsure as to what is wrong. The battery is fully charged and the starter motor works fine. I have tried both keys and neither will start it. I have checked the fuses and the ones to do with the fuel are OK.
This is what happens when i try to start my Scudo.
Key turns and all the relevant dashboard lights come on OK.
There is a slight whirring noise in the engine compartment but no noticeable click.
A few seconds later some of the lights (including the glow plug warming one) go out OK.
Turning the key further engages the starter motor strongly but the engine fails to start.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any replies...
