C30 Engine : - Won't start anymore, please help!!

hansC30 · Mar 22nd, 2018, 16:02

Hi,

I just had my DMF and clutch replaced(15km ago) . Car ran fine but still lack of power.

So I did some research on how to perform a compression test by checking voltage over battery when starting the engine and turning of the fuel supply. So I disconnected the injectors so they would be shut off, measured the voltage over the battery and all seemed fine, no variation over the different cylinders.

Then I reconnected the injectors and now it won't start anymore!! When I try to start the engine turns, but a loud whining noise occurs, when I stop trying to start and leave the key in position 2, the whining continues until I turn the ignition off.. I haven't had the chance yet to readout the diagnostics codes as my computer won't run vida anymore..
Anyone any idea what might be wrong, please help as this is my daily drive :-(

Couldn't be anything silly like air in the fuel line ?

No air in the fuel line. Although I did notice before that when accelerating, a lot of big air bubbles can be seen in the fuel line.
I think it is more related to that sound it keeps on making after trying to start it. It is coming from the left side of the engine (so opposite side of fuel pump) any ideas?
