Peugeot 406 2.1 TD, engine cutting out. - Brian
I have a Peugeot 406 2.1 T D with 53,000 miles. About 1000 m. ago the engine stopped for an instant and then resumed power, this happened again about 200 m. later. At 10,000 m. I had disconnected the EGR system, very beneficially, but I don't think this has anything to do with the problem. Yesterday the engine stopped again for a second and a further twice all within the space of half a mile, but was then O K for ten miles home.

The problem is I am due to go to Spain on Sunday 3 April, towing a caravan, for six weeks and I am worried about what may happen. My garage suggested a new fuel filter and this has been done, even though accordind toinvoices the filter had only been in use since 37,000.

Has anyone any suggestions, please?

anything happen to the electrics ? Any warning lights ? Just dead, or splutter then dead.

Probably irrelanvant but I had a Renault 19 TD that had very similar symptoms due to fitting a MAN fuel filter, the local indepandant dealer replaced it (Can't remember what brand they put in as a replacement) and it cured the problem.
