2000 - HDI Diesel that kangeroos in the wet - martin@mac

I have a 2000 HDI diesel that in the dry runs perfectly. As soon as it gets wet, the engine management light comes on and the engine split second cuts out intermittently when driving. Fine when idling. Local Peugeot dealer states replace some sensor on the fuel pump at a cost of £500. Surely if the sensor was faulty it would do it ALL the time not just when it's wet. The dealer re-sets the management light and the engine runs fine again.

That would be a good trick - there are no sensors on the fuel pump!

Two things come to mind. One; the wiring loom and multiplug along the front panel under the rad corrodes badly.

Two; the fuel-rail pressure sensors are known for poor connexions. There is a modified bit of plug-in loom, with better teminals in it, available from your dealer.

What code is stored after the light comes on?
