[wibbz]

hi all my brother has seen a hdi for sale but the seller says it has a intermittent problem it keeps cutting out when driving along any help would be grateful

[Poodle]

Haha well I wouldnt pay much for it if I was you. Click the link in the bottom left corner of my sig if youd like an idea of possible causes/what your brother would be letting himself in for.

Yeah I wouldn't pay anywhere near the 600 for that

[wibbz]

he wont pay what he asking for anyway he will try and get a at least a couple of hundred off the price

Be worth it in parts alone for 400.

Thought id update this thread instead of making another.
I have just picked up a hdi and has a cutting out problem its fine driving normally bit if you put your foot down it gets to about 3700rpm then cuts out. It takes a couple of tries to get it started then the eml stays on aswell. Can anyone help me out with this?

[Toms306]

Possibly lift pump...

Have you got a code reader?

[aggyj17]

No unfortunately I haven't mate.

[DeeTurbo]

Where about are you based, as there might be a member near that could help?

[Poodle]

As above. Also, check out the link in my sig.

I am from Spalding in Lincolnshire. Ill have a look through your link poodle thanks for that. I have heard that it could be the fpr playing up can anyone confirm this I am new to hdi's more use to dturbo's and petrol engines lol

[Poodle]

Could well be, that'd usually be one of my frst ports of call.

[Dmorrow462]

I have same problem. Got it read says lift pump

[Poodle]

The code will say "low/high pressure fuel circuit", or something along those lines. There's a chance it could be the lift pump, but there's a fairly even chance it could be the fpr, guess which one's free to check.

I got a reader if you are stuck mate.

[aggyj17]

Oohh might take you up on that c2k lol. But I have give it a service with a new fuel filter and it seems to be ok atm. The previous owner has run it on red diesel so it could of been a load of crap in the filter.

[Poodle]

Fuel filter can cause these to cut out, did you replace it with a genuine one?

[aggyj17]

It wasnt genuine as the nearest pug/citroen is about 30 mile from me. I got one from my local motor factors that I have been using for years and are usually good quality parts it hasnt cut oit since just gotta sort out the boost leak now lol

[Poodle]

Fair play, can't remember who the genuine ones are made by, purflux maybe...? As long as it's decent quality and not cheap and nasty. Getting there mate!
