308 1.6hdi engine no power, stalls, now will not start

[SeanOB]

Hi all, my 308 1.6hdi tsarted missing occasionally but has got progressively worse. First, repeatedly stalling at idle. Then, refusing to or being reluctant to start after stalling. After that, having no power when revving (ie having to give it a couple of thousand revs or more to pull away from a stop without stalling). Now, it will catch when cranked but then stall immediately or after a couple of seconds.

I have recently changed the fuel filter but the porblems did not start immediately afterwards. Ihave checked the fuel - there was occasional air bubbles but I found and refitted a loose fuel pipe fitting. The car ran well for about 10 miles and then the problem returned. I have changed the crankcase sensor (there was a P0339 code after a few of the incidents) and again the car ran well for about 10-20 miles before the problem returned.

There is a persistent P0483 cooling function integrated into the ECU code and an occasional P1351 pre-heating relay circuit code.

Has anyone got any ideas what the issue might be and how to address it?

Cheers, Sean

Check the leak over pipes sometimes they have spits very small but enough to cause this problem

Thanks, Husky,

Will do,

Hows the car ?

I wiggled the crankcase sensor connection and it is now running fine (for the time being)!!
