Not starting
Hi everyone hoping someone can point me in the right direction. 5008 1.5hdi headgasket went replaced the gasket. Car wouldn’t start then found out the timing chain had stretched, replaced the chain and cams. Still can’t get the car to start only fault codes coming up are starting monitoring anyone else had this issue

Re: Not starting
Is your battery in tip top condition? 
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Re: Not starting
I don't know I'm afraid but you may have to go into the ECU and tell it you have replaced the gasket and chain etc. Someone with better knowledge than me will see your post soon I hope!

Re: Not starting
Why was the gasket replaced in the first place?
Will it fire with a spray of easy start?
