I've got a 1.6Hdi (75) 2006 Berlingo Multispace XTR with an intermittent problem. Note I'll describe this a a stall and restart but it's a complete stop in power and I don't know how to better describe it. Background, when new (first year or so) accelerating on motorway, hit 70 back off the acc slightly to maintain speed, instant stall and restart, enough to throw you forward in your seat, happened a few times haven't had the problem since.
Now it's started again but more frequently, mostly on acceleration, nearly every day, several times a day sometimes, and always before it reaches normal operating temp, happening at about 70 deg c, normal is about 90. I don't get a chance to see if any warning lights illuminate on the dash as it happens so quick I haven't got the time to look. For your info a new fuel filter was fitted last year and the priming bulb hasn't had any air in it when I check.
I've asked a diesel specialist and they say it sounds more like an electrical fault, so I went into Citroen today and they said hooking the engine up for a diagnostic is the first port of call, the thing is it's a "how long is a piece of string question" with an intermittent fault and dealer labour is expensive.
The diesel specialist suggested I try here before taking it further just to see if anyones experienced the same problem. The chap at Citroen said he'd never had the fault, similar but not the same, ie full stalls, he mentioned a few potential causes, fuel rail pressure sensors etc.
So, over to you, anyone had anything like it?
