I have a 2007 Renault Trafic, it was driving fine then suddenly stopped. I have had diagnostics on it and no faults showing up, noticed some leaking from injector pipes so I have changed them but I can't get it to start. Cranks over fine and fuel is coming out of injector pipes. Checked again on machine today and no engine faults showing only an ABS sensor.

Any advice would be great.

Cambelt?

Seriously diesels are pretty simple beasts, if they have atomised fuel at the right time & compression, they just work.

You say you have had diagnostics done, but by whom & with what equipment as many don't show manufacturer specific codes.

'Injection pipes' suggests it's a diesel, but you didn't say it outright.

Diagnosis if it's a petrol engine would be completely different.

Have you given the hand pump a couple of squeezes?

My vivaro went through a few injectors in my ownership, they were always a pig to pull out too! Rail pressure under cranking would be my first check, with a leak off test on the injectors if that was unsatisfactory

My father in law has spent weeks trying to remedy similar issues. His has had injectors, the fuel rail sensor, immobiliser checks, the loom has been off it. Turns out it was the crank sensor all along. Diagnostic checks prior to it being dismantled didn't reveal anything untoward.
