Engine slows down and stops

Post by watson_martin »

Has happened a little after a right hand turn. The engine loses power if I switch off then switch on the engine is back to life and power. fuel tank is half full.

I am running a caddy type 1.9 non turbo diesel, 5 speed box.

Have you checked the fuel filter, when was the last time the water was drained from it?

Think you have read my mind I was planning tomorrow as diesel filter change day and see what happens. Will crack the water drain tonight and see what happens.

Thanks for the reply, it is an odd thing, but there are a few of those on the camper.
