Corsa D 1.3 CDTi randomly not starting, no codes! Fault finding and repair.

I know you a professional mechanic and electricians, once I saw this video by you I'm moved to stop by and learn from you. I yearn to be like you sir. ❤❤❤

Superb Diagnosis and no parts bought 👍👍👍

Well done, intermittent faults are always very difficult to diagnose but you just never give up 👍😀

Good find. This motor - Z 13 DTH on all 2006-2014 Corsa D is electronic throttle control( ETC ). This engine is old Z 13 DTH and WAS used in ASTRA H - in ASTRA H it's the vacuum valve like here. This here engine in the Corsa is from Astra H.

Thanks!

Fantastic diagnosis you had notting to go on but you persisted with it and got it going well done Luis

I had the same issue many years ago with my Corsa. After work the car would only crank but not start. RAC man arrived within about 30mins. He had a good idea what it could be. Hit the EGR valve with a hammer a few times to close it, unplugged it. Engine light came on but it got me home and down to the garage for repairs later that week.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Yes... EGR on some cars will cause also a crank no start... that's why I was considering it at some point... 👍👍👍

[@zodiatti1825]

Luis it is perfect like always, I have same engine on my wife suzuki. I have an Xtool instead of Autel but looks like the diag SW is exactly same... how does it possible? Why I am using Opel diag SW instead of Suzuki because the Suzuki diag SW is 100% useless while the Opel diag SW shows all sensors etc... Same controller and Suzuki I guess bought it from Opel directly... some kind of joint venture project like we can see it nowadays also. was it with DPF mounted? Thanks to god my engine runs now perfectly but I had lots of sucks with it in spring at 190 000 km... EGR cleaning, Glow plugs defect, Turbo exchange and DPF echange as it was not possible to clean it anymore 100% clogged... after a 133€ DPF from Autodoc solved all issues and it runs now perfectly. Thanks to you and other enthusiestic YT teachers I could do it on my own all repairs so cost really not much at the end :) And I learned a lot about my car... make no sense to sell it anymore....

[@LMAutoRepairs]

That's great! Good to know my videos have helped you! 👍👍👍

[@MrByootox]

Not sure if that valve/flap shuts slightly to help pull the EGR gases through as well Louis. I know it does on some of the VAG group. Good find though Louis ☺️👌

[@LMAutoRepairs]

🤔 Possibly... That's a good point! 👍👍👍

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Thinking further about it, without a position sensor on the valve, which this one didn't have, would be a big tricky for the ecu to know how yo actuate the vacuum solenoid to position the valve correctly.... 🤔

[@MrByootox]

Very true! Unless it used the MAF readings. But because it's not a stepper motor and only vacuum control your probably right. @@LMAutoRepairs

Great video, tell me, my opel cirsa d 1.4 does the same thing but after it start I can drive 10kilos then it shut down and cranks not start, after a while it start but cannot driver above 20 kilos and did diagnosis to clear the fault codes but they appear soon as you drive, is it on limp mode or what could it be?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Share the fault codes would be helpful to have a better understanding of what my be happening... Otherwise is pure guess work... 👍👍👍

[@theresellout9177]

Fault codes p0113, p0104

good morning Luis is there any sensors or not on that valve throttle body that should have had a red number on the autel for out of range good catch on maf anyway

[@LMAutoRepairs]

No sensors as you will need able to see when I dismantled it... Should have some sort of position sensor or similar... Unfortunately it is just a mechanical flap vacuum actuated... 👍👍👍

This valve will stop the engine from getting a feed of air in case the turbo fails this was something most modern engines should have fitted a long time ago.

[@kendtamas]

Ez téves megállapítás. Motorfék állapotában növeli annak hatásfokát, valamint a leállítas lágyabb lesz azáltal, hogy elzárja a levegő útját. Kissebb a motor billenése amikor léáll.

During the works you did on the car, did you noticed any error codes when disconnecting components? It's very strange the ecu didn't had ANY errors present... When I see stuff like that my first thought is a remap done by some genius...some of them have the bad habit of removing the coding for errors...

☺️ Actually, the E60 M5 has only 2 electric throttle body actuators, one for each bank... But yes, there is 10 valves, each 5 actuated by one electronic actuator... 👍👍👍

[@nemanjamitrovic-p1p]

It's a lie, you won't say a real malfunction, the EGR valve is stuck there, the flap is not a problem.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Not in this case... that flap was the problem.... In some cars, and on this one as well, a stuck open EGR can cause a crank no start, and that was why I was considering it at some point... But in this case was not the EGR, as you might have seen on the video... 👍👍👍👍

On some of these cars the vehicle will not start due to starter motor speed there was a tsb on it approx 250rpm normal 300rpm if stopstart ecm would think engine running due to higher cranking speed so starting prota call ignored engine will not start and can be intermittent providing all injectors and crank sensor test fine eta hope that helps for future help there will be no codes in ecm
