Whilst out on Tuesday night, whilst in stop/start, when car restarted it suddenly lost power showing “error stop/error” with the glow plug light flashing amber. It felt like the turbo had failed. 

 

The car was fortunately booked in the following day, for a service and brake fluid change. The car has done 37500 miles with services when needed and has been faultless up to now. The diagnosis is a faulty fuel pressure sensor and the error was cleared with a software reset during a recall. A new part is on order for Monday. The dealer couldn’t guarantee the fault would return. 

 

I feel a bit disappointed that this has happened, but I guess these things happen? Has anyone else had this failure? In the meantime, we are using my partner’s 2010 Toyota Yaris on a trip away that is proving a joy to drive! 

Like every part on the car, nothing is guaranteed to last.

That is very true. I was just wondering if anyone had experienced anything similar? 

I have got the same problem . Start/stop error , engine cut off but no lights on the dash, called AA and they gave me low.pressure P08700 code. Its been in the garage with no luck since 23rd march. Engine not starting and no luck so far
