I have 04 1.8TDCi.

Two issues:

1- Cutting out at random times, usually within 5 mins of starting. Starts up again perfectly OK

2 - Very low fuel economy. Has dropped from 52/53 to 42/44mpg.

Will Putting diesel clean through help.

Do i need to think about something more serious.

Low fuel economy is one of the symptoms of turbo failure.
