My 2013 Great Wall V200 stopped and won't restart

My 2013 V200 Great Wall was running fine. I was on the freeway and it just stopped (I think it’s fuel) and wouldn’t restart when I tried. The car has power and is turning over but just won’t start. The fuses in the cabin all look good. Has anyone else experienced this or can offer advice?

A fault with the fuel supply can certainly strand a vehicle in its tracks, but there are a thousand other things that could be causing your problem. It would be worth checking the operation of the fuel system, though, as this is a common problem with modern turbo-diesels. Has the vehicle been run out of fuel recently? That can cause all sorts of knock-on problems when you try to restart the engine. Contaminated fuel (often containing water which modern diesels hate) can also cause this sort of problem. A properly equipped workshop should be able to carry out an electronic scan of the vehicle’s systems and diagnose quickly and efficiently what the problem is.
