Van hesitates as if no fuel is getting through

[adam88binks]

Hi everyone.

I have a Mk6 2.0tddi and its problem is getting worse.

When driving along the engine will stutter and hesitate for a split second then Carry on like nothing is wrong.

No fault codes showing on ForScan.

All lights extinguish immediately.

I've added a picture to show which lights come on whilst it hesitates.

I've replaced the fuel filter.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm thinking fuel system?

Looks like your glow plug light is on....this doubles as a DTC light....what cable are you using to read the codes..?? Latest version of Forscan will only work with a couple of specific cables.

SOLVED!!!!

So the van got the point of being undriveable. Electrics kept cutting out and I'd have to bang the dash to bring it back to life. My biggest clue was the blowers, these would stop working when the van was in fault. So I removed the entire dashboard so I could inspect the wiring as I knew this has to be the problem.

Found 2 corroded/old earth points that were on the same circuit as the blowers. Cleaned these up with sand paper until super shiny and reconnected the to the body. Cleaned both the crimp rings and removed the paint from the body work.

It's now been 2 days without a single issue.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
