Omega General Help / Fuel pump issue ? is it fubared ?

« on: 28 February 2021, 09:53:42 »

Hi All . .  .not been on here much latley  . . .long story  . . . but have an issue . .
         
 2001 2.6 Estate . . .     3  days ago used the car for a 50 mile round trip , all running perfectly.

Then 2 days ago  went to use car and although it fires a revs to about 1000rpm it then cuts out after about 1 sec . Tried to re start and same thing happens several times.

  Seem to remember advice on here was to give the underside of the tank a thump . . .  did so  . . and car started an ran perfectly      There are no warning lights on .

   Same happened yesterday  . . .had to thump the tank  after it had been left overnight.

  Assume this is a fuel pump issue  . . .is replacememnt the answer or can they be serviced . ?   TIA   AL

Ok . . done a "Login"  and now working on PC and phone but not on the laptop which I installed the VPN.  Have also switched the VPN off and still no access on the laptop.
I cannot do anything on the OOF site from the laptop.
What does reformatting involve ?
Is it  " resign" and start again with a new username?

Memo to other OOF members :   OP is clueless on IT stuff

Pull the drivers carpet. And check for damp/water... Bear in mind that the insulation under it can hold a couple of litres before you feel it on the carpet...

Checked under the carpets as a first port of call . . . all good .

Using no coolant, so unlikely to be a matrix HBV issue 

Possibly just a damp issue from not much use  . . .car sits outside from Mon -Fri.

Just thought it was strange its only the drivers side of screen that is misting . Probably needs a bit of use and may be it will clear better . Might take it for an "Essential Travel " run tomorrow

Heat is the same both sides .  Tested the "blow" force with just screen on  it seems the same  . .
strange  . . .  what is occuring is the drivers side seems to mist up inside , but passenger side and all other windows are clear

There seems to be an issue on my CDX climate control . When trying to keep the screen demisted in these damp and wet conditions , the passenger side seems to work very well. But the drivers side seems very down on "blowing power".  Could it be a pipe has been disloged or not fully located or thinking it may be an issue or fault with the climate control panel itself.
Aircon does not work,  but if that was the issue why is the passenger side  good ?

Betting that any reply will say getting to the pipes/ducts in the dash is gonna be a **** of a job 

Any advice would be great  . . .Thanks Guys
