nissan quasqai 2.0 diesel 2007 - engine cuts out whilst driving - scavpan

while driving along today, the engine on our 2.0 diesel just seem to cut out as though the fuel had been cut off and came to a standstill, all lights are showing on dash and are ok and the engine turns over on starter motor but will not start, these models are camchain and not cambelt so i wouldn't suspect the camchain to break, but who knows!!! Thanks for your help in antisipation.

Change the fuel filter first.

The diesel xtrail requires the FF changing around 22K miles or two years, from memory, and i'm assuming your engine is the same.

The filter is never changed in a service unless requested, so check your service history, same with brake fluid, but every two years regardless of mileage.
