Technical Multipla keeps cutting out

[Gingernut]

Hi all. I wondered if you could give me some advice please. I have a 2005 Multipla JTD and it keeps cutting out. The engine management light keep coming on but no codes can be found by the garage. They've ruled out heater plugs and fuel relay. They are looking at the ECU now. The car starts drives for about 5/6 miles then cuts out and won't start again. you leave it for 10 mins and then it starts. The car as been fantastic for the last 5 years but now its causing a headache.

Get them to check the crank sensor. Easy to replace and doesn't cost much!

See this thread (for Punto, but the pics hold good):

Sensor will cost £20-30
