Hi all, bit of a strange one with my HDi last few days.
Car completely cut out last week as if no diesel.
Had to call out RAC to rescue me. He checked over and suggested that the fuel pump was faulty and would need to be replaced. I did this and all seemed fine. Did about 15 miles to test and no issues. Used brand new VDO fuel pump from euro car supplies.
Few days later, been out in car and again, completely cut out as if ran out of diesel. This time in e middle of busy main road at rush hour. I manage to push car to road side and a few minutes later it started all ok.
Set off to drive it but couldn't get any power as if fuel supply blocked or not working correctly. Rac came out to me again, but car started all ok. He followed me home and I left the car running. He couldn't suggest anything other than to get some follow up investigation work done at a garage.
Less than minute after him pulling away the car cut out again!!!! This happened when I closed the drivers door; It cute out straight away.
This suggests to me a loose connection somewhere.
As I write this the car has been idling for ten minutes - any help or suggestions out there please?

Check all Earthing points in the engine bay and the battery terminals for corrosion/tightness.

Problem posting pics, it is the "check engine" warning light

could be the high pressure pump. the one in the tank is the LP one and the HP one is belt driven in the bay. have you checked flow rate etc?

Cheers, from what I've read so far, its either fuel rail pressure/pressure sensor, or a faulty injector that doesn't want to open/sticks and so it causes a rise in pressure......which leads to it shutting down the system down to avoid damaging the engine (can also produce P1112)

And my brother did mention something also about injectors being noisy on occasion, not sure how these things should sound on tick over but this one is quite loud on idle

Its just finding out the exact cause

Just ask dcc

mine had misfire and cutting out issues - new hp pump fixed it

smoke - changed the filter and put a turbo on it - fixed it

Hi all - one week on and have done the following:
Re-fitted LP (tank) fuel pump.
Changed fuel filter in order to bleed fuel system.
Car still cutting out after few hundred yards. Part of dashboard display (odometer) intermittently displayed on dash.
Am clueless at this moment in time.
