Hi thanks for the add.
I have a problem with my focus.
Hi everyone I have a 2008 Focus 1.8 tdci.

The other day I was driving home and my car just cut out for no reason.

I pulled into a side road and attempted to start it which it did ran for about 10 seconds and cut out. I left the vehicle for about 15 mins and tried to restart it. The car started and ran fine. So I headed to mine. About a mile from home and it cut out again and would not start.

Changed the fuel filter as thought it may have been blocked.
Noticed that there was next to no diesel in the filter housing.

Refilled the filter with clean diesel and reinstalled.

Tried starting it started ran for bout 10 secs soon as put foot on throttle it died out.

I have checked for blockages in fuel line and fuel runs freely.

I removed the filter again and noticed that the little o ring in centre of the filler cap is warped. Can this happen when just driving. When it first happened there were no lights on the dash and still isn't.

Would this cause the car to just cut out after driving for last 6 months when I bought it with no problems at all.

 

I know the fuel pumps are really common for failing on these engines.
