In-tank pump is far more likely to fail (from around 120,000) than the high pressure pump. One test of the tank pump, run the car low on diesel. If it stops with about 1/8th tank left it's duff.
Mine was intermittently faulty for ages so was a git to trace. Most common fault on these is a neglected fuel filter. |

Thanks for your reply. I've had the fuel filter done just last week and it's happened twice since.
I know for sure that the tank was less than 1/4 full last week but can't remember for sure if it was like that when it's happened in the past. If the high pressure engine side pump was at fault, surely I would see some kind of symptom of that when running at motorway speeds and on acceleration? It runs absolutely fine 99% of the time and never misses a beat on the motorway so I can't belive it's anything too horrendous/life ending. Interesting that it took a while to trace the problem for you, that's exactly what I'm seeing now. |
