Hi

I wash driving on the highway and sudenly the cars engine dies I didn't drive fast maybe around 100km with 2000rpm??

And she won't start when I pull over looks to me some sort of fuel problem !!!
The car runs great before this problem no strange noises lots of power

The car is now at the garage and they could not found any codes in the comp

So I hope they find it soon

Very strange that you aren't getting any codes thrown with an issue like that. Good luck and keep us posted.

I would be VERY surprised if it ISNT the fuelpump! Fitted under the backseats right side.

I think it's the fuel pomp to normaly you can hear the pomp when you turn
on the key to position 2

I call the garage in the morning if they know anything yet

I've had the same problem... replaced the pump (electrical resistance was too high) and not had the problem again

Yes the problem have been the fuel pomp they put a new one in and she is alive again

Now I am going to pich her up

Only I think the cars smells like fuel now can it be that they spilled a little fuel and that gives the smell??

And that the smell is gon in a couple aof days???Or sould I check the pomp under the rear seat??

You should definately check under the seat and make sure that everything is properly tightened.
