1999 2.0 Hdi Engine Cuts Out Intermitantley

[Tim V]

1999 2.0 hdi low mileage ( 53000 ) has intermitant fault engine revs drop to approx 500 /600 rpm pumping the pedal makes no differance. sometimes the engine cuts out altogether and will not restart for a couple of mins.when restarted fault either stays or dissapears no fault codes are ever raised,when fault occurs on motorway runs it`s almost like driving in limp mode ( no k light and car still goes above 50 ) when no fault present car drives perfect. lift pump and HP pump have both been replaced. there is never any warning no missfiring nothing engine just dies.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As I started to read I immediately thought of lift pump. But you say that's been replaced. If you're sure that it's not intermittent, I would next be checking fuel line connections around the filter housing.

Hi John

im interested in this problem so will be looking into it, things that are of concern are the high fuel delivery rate and heard this was an issue because any drop in pressure will cause that so this might be a good place to start,

im not a diesel man my self but don't dislike them but wouldn't buy one ( the cars are the same ) its just that engine and the cost of repairs when they go wrong.
