Hi,
Firstly I apologise for this long winded post, but I am desperate for help.I find your information extremely useful, hope you might help me out with my tale of woe. I drive a 04 reg 1.9 renault trafic which became difficult to start around November last year, thought it might be battery so I replaced it (van always started on a short pull) no change, after several visits to the garage I have since replaced Crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, Temp sensor glow plugs and numerous other items to no avail, the problem persisted. After reading an article on this forum I cleaned the erg and MAF sensor, engine seemed a bit smoother but the problem persisted. The garage then suggested that the diesel pump was faulty so a secondary diesel lift pump was fitted, No Change!
On a garage recommendation the van was brought to an electrical specialist who said there were many frayed wires and a damaged electrical module. All were repaired, another €400 and van seemed fine for about two weeks (as an aside I was out of work for these two weeks and never drove more than 20km any day)
Work picked up which necessitated longer distances daily and that's when the problems started.....
The van just chugged (felt like it was starved of diesel) and cut out! I got a friend to attempt to pull me to start the van but no joy (the starter was turning perfectly) I got pulled home and arranged to be towed to the garage the following morning, Next morning van started perfectly and at around 37km it died again. That was about 3 weeks ago and has (despite numerous visits to my mechanic) been the same since, will drive for about 35km then will splutter to a halt. if turned off and left for 45 minutes it will start normally and drive for another 35km. Would you have any idea what the problem might be as I am at my wits end as 3 garages have failed to sort it out. Could a faulty MAF Sensor cause this? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
