renault traffic van - my van die and goes into limbo then it wont start - kevan harry prescott

hi, I have a 2015 renault traffic van. Approx 6months ago it started to stutter,loose power then it would not start.

every time i sent for the RAC they reset the ALARMS showing on the engine managment system.But this did not FIX THE FAULT.

I booked it in at the Renault garage in BOLTON. But as the alarms were clear ( reset by the RAC) they could not find the fault.

The alarm is ON now and i will NOT allow the RAC to reset them.

PLEASE ANYBODY GOT A IDEA??

Resetting alarms does not usually fix the fault, the error codes are logged to help a good car tech find the fault.

Suggest you check the battery condition and voltage, and then the battery connections, particularly the earth strap to the body.

Check power supply to the fuel pump, is the fuel pump to the injectors working. Is is powering up- clicking when switched on? This would normally be flagged up in the error codes.

Do the easy options first.

If all else fails then you will have to go to a specialist. Look for a recommended Renault garage in your area, some listed on this website.

I found Bosch service centers quite good.
