Citroen Xsara 2.0 hdi Problems
hi ive got a Citoren Xsara 2.0 hdi and it keeps cuting out.
the car starts straight up then about 10 sec later it cuts out then ya have to wait about 2 maybe 3 minuits befor if will fire again then the same 10 sec it will cut out.
the engine management light is also on.
ive had a machanic out to it and used the snapon mt2500 scanner and it cam up with about 10 maybe 15 error codes.

Any help would be greatley appreashated

To check the lift pump , when you turn the ignition on but before starting the engine you should be able to hear it run for a few seconds - you might need someone to turn the key while you listen for it.
You could also detach the fuel feed pipe from the filter and run it into a jam jar or similar, get someone to turn the key for a few seconds and fuel should be pumped into your container - keep it brief as you don't want drowning in diesel!

right ive cleaned out the whole fuel system apart from the fuel filter, how the hell do ya get into it? lol.
i put it in a vice and put a ajustable spanner on it but it wront unscrew (does it unscrew?)
Its got a + and a - on it with arrows, im guessing that + is to tighten it and - is to unscre it
there also seems to be a metal ring round the top where it unscrews, does this have to come off?
Thanks Ant

Have you removed the lift pump from the tank?
There is no real need to dismantle it, just remove any crap from the strainer.
I presume you are talking about the diesel filter under the bonnet now.
If it is similar mine then the top just unscrews in the conventional manner.
It is very tight though, I had to use a small piece of wood and a hammer to start mine moving.
It was a bit of a bugger to seal again after replacing the filter.
There are quite a few variations though.
