Hello all just looking for some advice on my 07 freelancer 2 I have been recently having the same issue it first happened in December I was during back home and the car just died on me wmessage on display said reduced engine performance and battery light came on tried to start the car back up and it just chugged over but didn't start took my key fob out back in again and tried started still same issue wouldn't start it was like it was out of fuel I waited a few mins done the same thing and it started up with out a problem this was December then over the weekend I was going to work and it started again just died on me for a few mins as I only live less than a mile from work I haven't really been using it that much so I was hoping it just needed a good run. Any advice on the mat ter would be good and hopefully not to expensive to fix.

Clogged up fuel filter?

Hopefully that is it i took it out for a long drive before kept it in 5th and drive at 70mph i am hoping that was the issue would a diagnostic tell me any more do you think? Other wise i will update as soon as i find out. Thanks again

All these modern cars need a burn out say a least every month. Once you get it up and running again be best to do that if most of your motoring is short trips.

Thanks for the advice i will see how it goes.

Update. I have had my car in to an indi garage in regards to this issue as it started happening a lot more to the point were the car would just not start they put it through a diagnostic and came up with the results that it could be one of two things. So they advised to change the fual filter added dpf and changed the throttle body assembly but have said if this didnt work it would be the crank shaft sensor well i had the car back for a few days and it was working fine but it started again so i assume it is the sensor any advice on how long it would take to do a repair for this and were i can source the part or any further advice would be nice.

your car has no DPF so i suggest find a new indy, this one is yanking your chain! 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)

I reckon it died on you because you don't even know what it's called.

Hi, crank sensor is fairly easy to access through the drivers side front wheel arch. If you search for "crank sensor" on this forum there are a number of threads. No idea on cost of part but I had the wheel arch guards off mine and removed and cleaned sensor which took about 45 minutes. If you are handy with tools easily done yourself.

Might be worth just removing, cleaning and a squirt of contact cleaner first. Seems to have worked for a few members.
