Howdy and help

[stumpedgecko]

Hi, hoping a multipla owner might have had some experience with the following issue.

I have a 2001 multipla 1.9 diesel that has suddenly started to cut out after half an hour driving. I initially called out the breakdown service who couldn't find anything wrong mechanically and suggested it might be a problem with an electronic sensor.

The engine simply cuts out but will restart after five or ten minutes rest.

I'm hoping to get some input here because if I take it to a garage they won't be able to replicate the problem without driving it for half an hour.

Any ideas?

hi! welcome to the forum

you probably need a new crank sensor. do a search for this as its quite common

Thanks guys - I'm almost certain the crank sensor tip is bang on - Google search came back with a walkthrough from this forum that described the symptoms exactly. Thanks again - I'll post once it's fixed!

that has saved me a heap of money guys thanks. Just got the sensor changed. Only just taken it for a drive long enough to test whether it worked or not. And the answer is a big yes. Thanks again.
