Hmmm. Driving home at a steady 56mph, on a slight incline and the engine died.
It also then started to gear down as it slowed??
I pulled over, it remained idling and as if by flipping magic there were no issues??
The engine light had come initially and then in between each gear down change and then disappeared... The onlt fault I get is a fuel flow error.
So, 1999, 2.5tdi at 230.000mls, on the original pump, engine and box. It is reprogrammed also.
Also once the engine is warmed there is a wobble present.
It will go if the idle is lifted slightly with the acc pedal. Drives without a problem and has shown no other signs since then, even on the same stretch of road.
Battery is good,
Leads are good. Alt stays 14.3v(ive a regulator on order)
The modulation does sit correct at 96°.
My thoughts are a very worn fuel pump...
If it was injectors the wobble would be a constant upto a certain engine speed or moke but no such signs.
The pump doesn't leak fuel and the system is free of leaks and visual defects.
What are your thoughts please
