i know nowt about diesals , but my petrol did this. i removed the airbox from the thottle body, and opened the thottle( Engine Off) and spraded carb cleaner in loads and loads, the wiped inside with a rag..

worked for me...

Diesel engine hunting is prolly ECU needs a reset or replacement. Have you had it hitched up to testbook to read the error codes?

hello

no thought i'd ask on here first to see if its a common prob and a cheap fix

will add though only seems to do it when engine is warm and it drops power and the engine management light comes on when the power dips
