Hi,i m an owner of a Cdi 0.8 450 and the last few days i ve got a problem i cant solve....suddenly my little car died on the way home...tried everything i could...got it diagnosed by a local mechanic.....the software came up with no codes..in fact,it cannot communicate with the ecu...In detail.."turn ignition on" motor cranks....fires for a sec and dies..."switch off"... "switch on" glow plug indicator doesnt come on....."turn ignition off again"..wait for the relay to click..."turn ignition on"..."glow plug indicator coming on" fires for a sec....etc...etc..
p.s. i replaced the fuel filter....checked the crank sensor....
