She keeps cutting out 53 plate GV 2.0TD RHW

Post by PhilD » Sat May 02, 2015 8:49 pm

A couple off weeks ago the battery light came on for about 30 min which I thought was strange as I've had a new alternator fitted 4 months ago. It went off so thought no more about it , I was out shooting a couple of days latter and was doing about 50 mph across a stubble field and just die died and I mean died instantly. I tried to restart and it would not start . I poked about under the bonnet and could no see anything a miss , I tried to start again after about 5 min and it started but the engine management light was on. I drove home about 40 miles no more problems , got a friend to do I diagnostic and the faults were P1112 Fuel rail pressure and P1517 Coded anti start operation . All reset and codes removed she seemed fine till 150 miles later doing 70 mph on a managed motorway in the outside lane instant cut out again . A real brown underpants moment when I got to the inside lane (no hard shoulder anymore :S ) artic's pulling out to miss me after 5 min jumped in her again and you guessed right away she went but cut out anther 4 times in 12 miles off the motorway . Did some digging on the internet and it seemed to point to the Pressure regulator on the fuel pump so took one of a pump at home and fitted it . No problems for 350 miles then she cut out again and would cut out every miles . I bought a new sensor fitted today started her up and the battery light is on now and she has cut out after 30 miles. I've got a second hand rail sensors so going to fit that tomorrow and see if that make any difference and see if the alternator is putting a charge out. Anyone had similar problems . Anyone know if the injectors coded, could this be a battery problem . Any ideas anyone.

Tbh I'm not too clued up on the GV engines. Maybe Rhinoman will be along with some advice soon though...he's the resident electrical guru.

Couldn't be something simple like a blocked fuel filter causing the pressure issues?

I wish it was but replaced the holder and filter, but I have found the fuel pump at the tank is leaking and may be pulling in air.
