Strange intermittent cutting out.

[Stay Puft]

This is for someone who works with me.. she has taken it to numerous garages who think she's going crazy as they can never get the car to do it!

If she is sat at traffic lights, she'll watch the needle go up to 'the 9'oclock' position on the temp gauge and then what she thinks is the EML will come on, then moments later it cuts out once it goes past the 9oclock position.

The car she has is a 2.0 one of these.

Any advice would be helpful!

Reg isn't turning up anything on Renault WVS lookup but if it has "IDE" on the side bullets then it has what we call classic "IDE-AIDS"

In layman terms the Fuel Pressure Regulator is failing when it gets hot so is seizing up internally allowing the fuel pressure to creep up without control (Hence the engine is cut out) and so needs replacing.

The parts are pretty pricey still and ideally needs a CLIP diagnostic session (CLIP only as these vehicles have x2 ECU's for the engine; one for normal ignition and sensor control and a second for running the high pressure direct injection - Most Snap-On and other after market kit cannot see the Bosch ECU so cannot diagnose it). A simple enough job but needs to be performed by a competant person (someone who understands what 800-1200BAR fuel pressure in micro-bore steel pipework will do to you if you simply undo it).
