Syke Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I realise this is a bit vague, but here's the problem: Car is a Focus 1.6 Tdci, 2007. On Saturday I set off on a journey of about 15 miles. 2 or 3 minutes later the car just died. I switched off and coasted in to a layby. Tried it again and it started then behaved normally. Returned home about 4 hours later and just as I braked for my entrance, it died again. I coasted to the end of my drive and switched off. Tried again on sunday morning but nothing; turned over OK but no start. Started normally this morning and went (about 5 miles) to my local (small) garage where they plugged in some kind of analyser but reported no error codes showing. I drove back home and, as I braked for my drive, it died again; repeat of Saturday's behaviour. I'm not sure what to do next, whether a visit to a Ford Main dealer would be worth it?

alz Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 do you know the service history, it could be as simple as a fuel filter fault, cheap to replace to see if thats is the fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syke Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 do you know the service history, it could be as simple as a fuel filter fault, cheap to replace to see if thats is the fault. Thanks for that. That's certainly worth checking. I bought it at 10 months old and it's been serviced twice since then. regards Syke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
