    2020 Great Wall Steed diesel not starting

    My son's 2020 Great Wall Steed diesel was running fine until he pulled into a service-station and now it won't start. The engine turns over but won't fire up. It has fuel pressure all the way to the injectors, no water in the fuel and is not showing any codes on a scan-tool, but the anti-theft light in the dash is flashing. Not sure if this is normal. We have replaced the battery in the key fob and checked the fuses under the bonnet. We are really at a loss as to what could be stopping it from starting. The car has 100,000km on it.

    A problem like this is all but impossible to diagnose remotely. There are literally hundreds of reasons why this could be happening, and simply guessing at an answer and replacing that part randomly is not the way to proceed. The fact that no fault codes have shown up Is a puzzle, too. Don’t forget, though, that there’s probably a second fuse-box somewhere inside the vehicle as well as the one under the bonnet that you’ve already checked.

    I’m not sure about the flashing anti-theft light. Sometimes these flash constantly whenever the car is locked as a message to would-be thieves that there’s an alarm system fitted. That said, the problem could be something to do with the immobiliser system which would stop the vehicle in its tracks if it thought the car was being started by somebody without the correct key fob.

    The bottom line, of course, is that this vehicle – provided it’s been serviced correctly – is still under Great Wall’s factory five-year/150,000km warranty which was introduced back in 2019. So make it Great Wall’s problem.
