Hi all, I have an LDV Convoy 2003 with the Transit 2.4 Duratec tddi engine and gearbox and other bits too. This is the problem.
Completely randomly it cut's out. I could be doing 25 on an A road or 60 on the motorway. The engine management light comes on and boom it dies. I pull over and re-start it and it's fine again for an hour. I had this problem on my previous two mk6 Transits and I changed the accelerator pedal and it cured it both times. I have changed the pedal on this and it has not worked although the new pedal has given a markedly improvement in performance. BUT......Here is the kicker...It only does it during the day, I put the headlights on at night and it never cuts out. I am a long distance courier and do half day and half night driving. It has been cutting out for the last 7 days but always during the day. The other light that briefly came on a couple of times yesterday was the Fuel Filter water light. If it is the filter sensor then i was thinking of disconnecting the wire from the filter. Would this have owt to do with it and would it be ok to pull the wire? Thanks People.
