Frankly, I am surprised to see this well known subject coming up again. This fault is typical of air being sucked into the fuel line at the fuel filter - actually the fuel heater housing that is the mounting for the fuel filter. There is an electric plug (for the fuel heater). Usually, if you pull this plug you can smell fuel on the plug and if you look carefully at the socket you might see a crack between the two electrical pins. To fix it you have to change the filter/heater assembly and most likely fit a different plug.
If this has not been done it is either necessary now, or will be in due course. If it is done, then there may be another problem, but I doubt it.

Im away at the moment, so will loot on Friday when i get home.
If i do find a crack there (Hopefully the filter is in an accessible place) Can i make a temporary repair with resin, re attached the plugs and await a new one?
Didn't see any on eBay, and don't fancy taking it to a Chrysler garage and paying their crazy prices.

Epoxy putty may work, but it's going to be hard to get it to seal with diesel on the plastic.

hi
Patrick just joined this evening i have a grand voyager 2.5crd 2002 and in the last week its begun to cut out intermittently at low revs maybe 2/3 times a day and very difficult to start sometimes.
So far i have been advised to change fuel filter which I have done without any improvement. I am staying away from Chrysler dealers as they seem unable to pin point faults but replace items on a trial and error basis at your very costly expense.
Have had the car on diagnostics no fault codes have come up, just took it to a supposed diesel specialist and he concluded all four injectors are gone and the high pressure fuel pump, i don't believe him.
I am in the north west UK and I am told there aren't any independent Chrysler diesel specialists, i spoke to one in Basildon who seemed to really know what the problem is but wasn't prepared to share his expertise.

I had a look at the filter assy today. No burned wires, and no burned plug. So thats not the issue.
I have however just replaced the filter can, the old one looked like it had been there a while, the innards were BLACK. Fitted the new one as tight as my arm would allow in that tight space (Don't have a car lift). Primed the plunger a few times. She started no issues, left running for 5 mins to make sure there was no air still in the system.
Took her for a run and no cutting out so far. Hmm cant be this easy surly? All these months dangerous situations every day, for a 15 quid filter??????????

Just to be clear... you will not see any burning - no burned wires or plug, but it seems to be the heat that causes the plastic to crack between the pins of the plug receptacle in the fuel heater housing (that the filter housing screws into). I am glad that you have had no further trouble, but if you do, you know where look.

Hello everyone,
I am new here so let me introduce my car.
I have a Chrysler Voyager 2001 (51 plate) 2.5 crd with 120k on the clock.
Car starts fine but is quite smoky first thing in the morning.
It drives fine until I put the foot down. Then it stalls (usually with 3000+ rpm)
No engine check light and P1130 when I do the key turning trick.
Local garages recommend to replace half of the parts in the car, from injectors to fuel pump.
I cant afford it so can anyone recommend someone around Swindon who could diagnose the fault for me?
Many Thanks in advance.
Bart

Sounds very much like a dirty Mass Airflow Sensor - but it could perhaps be air getting into the fuel filter. I would try the MAS first with a little Air Sensor Cleaner - be careful not to use any old cleaner as some attack plastic. You should be able to find CRC Air Sensor Clean online http://www.motoelectrical.co.uk/crc-...wNcaAlTt8P8HAQ
