We will need to know more, is it Petrol, or Diesel? If diesel, does it have an intercooler? What Year? Don't need the colour...

Welcome to the forum

.Personally i always start with the basic's with anything so i would start with the fuel filter.Dont bother with cheap ones as ive heard bad review's with them.Also it's well worth paying for the membership as from personal experience the information you will get be second to none.

yes it is a TDi, so all fly by wire, sounds to me like a problem I had today on my very ill used off roader, check the throttle assembly extreme top of pedal, it should be silky smooth, if it is sticky the ecu go's into limp mode and pedal becomes very sensitive, Rick

Hi and welcome to the club.

Has this problem recently started?
Was it OK BEFORE you changed the filters?
How long have you had the truck, and how long has it been fine?
Have you recently changed the type of fuel, bio or SVO?
What was the last change that you did before it started to run rough?

A bit like a restore point on a computer, when new software can crash the computer... so what has changed?
best regards,

Rustic

I have had it about 4 weeks as soon as I had it noticed not running as kept cutting out so done a full service straight away and still the problem is the same

Remove mini filter and bin it

Replace main fuel filter

Check fuel lines for corrosion/leaks

Get fault codes read

clivvy · 23-11-2013, 18:19

is it OK when cold, then starts to cut out when engine reaches operating temperature?

Get some clear pipe for fuel pipe, see if any air getting in.

8mm internal.
