Intermittent Starting Issues

Hi all. Around 3 weeks ago I had a new water pump fitted as this was leaking from the seal. Had a problem since however this maybe a red herring and coincidental.



A week after this work the car would not start, and had to be bumped to start it. Cranking and turning over all ok just not firing. Starter sounds ok and is ok if you read below it started again.



Skip a week with no issues and it does the same again but at home so didn't bump it this time. Left a week , tried new battery including re learn and nothing. Gave it 24 hours now its started 10 times in a row .



No MIL light , no dtc codes before or after ignition - but up to 80 (now 68) during ignition. One test only showed 25 but tested 3 times and now 60-80 faults :(



Is there a known issue and someone can actually tell me which dtc code is the problem and which are the red herrings?



Did the garage do something or unplug or knock something on that side of the car ?



Its under warranty still mind you , but if its a simple fix I'll do it myself or take to a local garage.



These are the codes I get only read during ignition and not before or after ignition. Car is still starting ok but I dare not take it out.



Thanks for your help in advanced.

Hi, I would contact the garage who did the work and advise them of this and get them to check it out under your warranty of work. It could be a coinsedence as you say, but they could have not connected something back up securely which is causing the issue.
