Citroen Xantia car cutting out
Model Year: 1998
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
when driving for more than 30-40 mins, the engine cuts out and has happened a few times when driving on the motorway. i have recently had a service done and they didnt find any problems but recommended that i should get the car electronically tested. ur help would be very much appreciated thnks. p.s i have been doin some research and it sounds like my fuel system but seeing as i'm no expert, your assitance would be greatly valued. thnks.

is the car diesel and did you find the fault
as i have one which is much the same will go for 3 hours no problem then it will cut out on motor way or any where will take 3 hours to get back from a 1 hour trip get near the repair shop its perfect

I would look to the crank sensor first then next i would test the fuel pump relay in fuse box inside of car.
Also there is a multi plug in inner wing of car just behind head lamp this has been an issue of many faults but to get to it you need to remove wheel and plastic wheel arch covers plug is up above washer bottle.
