  • Engine light comes on - engine stops

    Dad's 3l TD has started to ...stop

    10 weeks into a round Oz trip, coming back across the Nullabor towards Adelaide (on the way to Hobart), it will run for about 1.5 - 2 hours, engine light comes on and the engine stops. Coast to a stop, ignition off, back on and engine re-starts and then the problem doesn't recur until the next day. Happened for the last three days in a row, he's worried that it may happen on a freeway, not ideal with a van in tow.

    Anyone come across this problem?
    If so, is it an easy fix?

    and finally - if there's a solution, a reputable tradie in Adelaide that can fix the problem?

    Cheers, Greg

    I would recomend All Trak 4wd as a place to go and have this issue checked out. They do cost a bit but the quality of the work is worth it.

    Is there any more details on how it occurs? Does the motor just stop straight out, or does it wheeze like it is starved of fuel?

      Apparently just stops. No warning, no hesitation, light blinks on and out goes the fire. They've travelled 16k since leaving Hobart without missing a beat, serviced within cooee of 5k intervals on the road.

        See if they can find someone to check for engine fault codes that may assist in narrowing it down....

          Get a paper clip or piece of wire, open the diagnotic connector under the bonnet and jumper the TE1 and E1 together. Turn on the ignition and count the engine light flashes - first flashes are digit one, short pause and then flashes digit two then long pause. Example ... flash flash <short pause> flash flash flash = code 23

          Fault codes are here ... http://www.mhdfl.com/1KTZE%20PININ-PINOUT.pdf
