Hello everyone - hoping for some advice on this intermittent problem..

I have a '06 diesel FL TD4. Two times in the past two weeks my car has failed to start, shortly (1-2hrs) after previous use. The engine management light (orange with the ! in it) comes on and stays on with the ignition and, while the engine turns over, the car won't start. When this happened yesterday, I called the AA but by the time they arrived the light went out after engaging the ignition and the car started (although was a bit spluttery). There was no fault reading and the AA guy wasn't able to help.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what this might be before I send my garage on a fishing trip?

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Sounds to me like the fuel pump may be on its last legs. The one in the wheel arch. Mine went recently.

How many miles has it done?
 
Hi, thanks a lot for the reply. It has done 63,000 miles. Do you know if that is easy to diagnose?
Cheers
