alchresearch Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 The O2 sensor is a common fail part that would result in problems similar to what you describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedith Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I had a similar problem to this on a Renault Megane, it was one of the coil packs needed replacing. Is it a bugger to restart once it has cut out? Are you losing compression when accelerating? Oh, and take no notice of the Elocution Police?

katiensteve Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 it is a bugger to re start yer think he tried bout 8 times in the 5 mins, n thinkin bout acceleration yer get abit of a loss with that, i will def tell him thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedith Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Just a thought ... if you have breakdown recovery, drive a couple of miles from home and ring them. If its the coil pack they will replace it at the roadside if they have one on board. They should be able to pin it down to one fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
