Hi, I hope someone can offer some advice with this one!
I bought a used poverty spec Leon (1.2 petrol Dynamic Technology) a week ago. It is less than 2 years old and had < 8000 miles on the clock and in almost new condition. I got it for a pretty good price (£11000).
I've done 250 in the past week without any issues, but today it just wouldn't start. The electrics come on when you turn on the ignition, but you can't start the engine. When you turn the key it is just dead - no 'clicking' of the starter motor, absolutely nothing at all.
I have an ODB11 and checked the car and it came back with the following two faults.
01 Engine
System description: R4 1.2l TFS
Software number: 04E906027GR
Software version: 2394
Hardware number: 04E907309BL
Hardware version: H24
ODX name: EV_ECM12TFS01104E906027GR
ODX version: 001005
Long coding: 01190032232419082000
Trouble codes:
P261C00 - Coolant Pump "B" Control Circuit Low
Passive
P305400 - Starter does not turn Mechanically blocked or electrical malfunction
Active
I'm not mechanically minded, so when I Googled these the results they didn't mean a great deal to me really.
Now I am starting to wonder if I have bought a lemon, given that someone traded it in at 18 months old for a Mazda 3, and that the price of the car seemed to be quite a lot cheaper than similar cars on Auto Trader. Maybe this car has been someone elses problem and they decided they needed to get rid of it?
I spoke to the dealer and their servicing department aren't open again until Tuesday with it being a bank holiday.
Many thanks in advance.
