Hi,

I have a 99' 306 hdi, the car run fine for a couple of days until it 'stalled' whilst i was driving a couple of times, but it started back up and didnt do it again for another couple of weeks.

I will be driving along and the car will start to feel hesitant, the dash lights will then illuminate (as it is stalling and then restarting itself) but when it did it yesterday it wouldnt start up properley again, sometimes it runs for a minute, others it just turns over.

i even had it running perfectly for a few hours but it did the same again, so its nothing to do with the temperature of the engine

I have had it plugged into a snap on diagnostics machine and it came up with:

P1404 - additional heating circuit 2 and pre-heat

the book that comes with the machine says: causes :-

Wiring, Glow plug control module, Engine coolant heater relay, ECM (hope not!)

the in-tank pump has a healthy whine all of the time though.

I'm in the middle of taking cylinder 2's injector out to replace the seals as it makes the ticking/leaking noise, how do i get it out???

Cheers

Check the wiring going to the injectors think they are PINK and summit else cant remember of the top of my head anyway the engine cover rubs against them causing all sorts of bother.

Thats if its there and all the shitty clips that hold them on have popped of and the covers been tossed away ages ago

the wiring there looks OK cos Ive had the cover off sincei bought it, could the wiring under the battery cause these symptoms??

thanks

It being a Pug mate the wiring could be at fault anywhere

I can just remember repairing loads those wires and funnily enough when i got mine 3 mth ago popped the cover off an it was nearly through the wire's, so i caught it just in time.

The high pressure pumps are known to go as well as ecu's best bets to get it on proper pug machine find out for sure whats causing it and take it from there you could end up pissing about forever and not find the fault and wasting money on parts you dont need.

glow plug relay springs to mind as being a issue on these but i'm not 100% sure, try a google search.

just re-read your message, when it cuts out does is the fuel pump in the tank deffo working then? i'd suspect it would bring up a fuel pressure related code then but i know the intank pumps play up alot.

the snap-on machines are usually very good, it's just a case of working out whats going on.

i assume you've checked the glow plugs?

personally i'd be thinking towards a glow plug down and a intermittant fault with the intank pump.
