Hello All
Would appreciate some advice re intermittent engine cut out which is becoming more regular and potentially dangerous. The symptoms reflect a noticeable loss of power prior to the engine cutting out and the vehicle stalling.Its then takes between 5-10 minutes to restart and then it appears to drive fine. Used to be very occasionally but has happened twice this week. All on board electrics are working during this time and engine " machine gunning" away but not engaging on key turnover. Would appreciate any feedback as to likely cause before I take it to the garage. Its a 300tdi with 100000 miles and a new reconditioned gearbox which I bought as a second car a year ago but have been using as a daily driver for a few months. Would like to keep it going if at all possible.
All feedback re possible cause greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
