Which route are you going to France ?
Was it raining prior to stopping ? Plenum ? Under-bonnet fuel-pump pressure connector (close to the battery) pulling out ? https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...81&postcount=3 Under-bonnet fusebox corrosion ? PS If the engine stopped and no fault has been found, the problem may well reoccur. Do we need to warn the French section of this club ???? Madamoiselle Colvert, Tu es réveillée ? C'est un autre R75 diesel crapped out sur la motorway !!! Last edited by MarkS; 26th June 2022 at 05:36.. |

Dave how much fuel did you have in the tank? If it was below a quarter full and you think air is getting in then your ITP has failed. If you disconnect the outlet pipe from the UBP where it enters the fuel filter, place the end in a large jar, then with key to position II you should get a good strong flow of fuel into the jar. If you get loads of air and noises like a kid sucking on an empty McDonalds milkshake through a straw then likely the ITP is shot, unless of course someone has been inside the tank and upset the pipework. The ITPs can come and go when they start to fail, but get worse as time goes by until they finally buy the farm. |

Really depends on how it has been driven - the pumps don't wear out with mileage but time run, so if a car is used only around town then the pump could be just as worn after 40k miles as another one that has done 120k miles cruising the motorways. Keep a jar in the car and it is a quick and easy check if it happens again. |

So the saga continued! We got going again as you all know and traveled another 70 miles or so before it stopped again. No warning or anything strange just check engine and engine stalling. We managed to get to a safe space and waited a few minutes while we decided what to do. I turned on the ignition and the check engine was gone! I waited 30 seconds in position 2 and turned her over and she burst into life again. We drove a further 10 miles to a services and got coffee and just to be sure we filled up again. Nothing further all the way to Portsmouth and for the whole week in France, in fact she was as smooth as anything and started on the button every time. Then, on the way home back in England we drove for around 100 miles without a peep and suddenly ... check engine. We stopped at the side of the road and waited a minute. Turned key to position 2 for 30 seconds and she started. Drove then to services and had coffee. So just to recap all the help,
We had more than half a tank of fuel each time she stopped, There was no warning, No problems turning over and battery good After waiting for a period of time engine would start and I could drive normally, Only seems to happen after about 100 miles of driving. So what thoughts? Russ, if you are reading this I could do with a T4 check when you are available please.

Sounds like a Crank sensor cutting out - did you put a new one in ?

For future reference of anybody going to/from France (or the CI) via Portsmouth or Poole, CB750Chris is nearby with a T4.
If your R75 is playing up, he's the 4th emergency service IMHO.. Or a laptop with TOAF ? Last edited by MarkS; 3rd July 2022 at 20:48.. |
