Hi There,
Recently my 2000 Xsara HDi has been pulsing, ie lacking power when driving down a 3 mile stretch of motorway which is all downhill. Uphill it seems fine. Its been getting steadily worse making me think there is a fuel pressure issue.
Apparently the car has had a clutch, new diesel tank,high pressure fuel pump,common rail pressure sensor,crank sensor,fuel pump relay replaced in the last two years. So something similar has obviously been wrong with it in the past.
Anything I should look to at first to diagnose? Would a diagnosistics machine help to identify what the issue might be?
Any thoughts most appreciated..

check the fuel pipes from the fuel filter on front of engine over the cam belt cover and down the back of the engine for any signs of air being sucked in

Hi,
I wasnt seeing anything loose or perished there at a first inspection. Pipework looked in pretty good condition.
What's the next thing to look at?
