1.4 Fabia tdi on 92k
 

I have an issue where my Fabia keeps cutting out while driving. 
 

It cuts out then takes a few key turns to fire up again. 
 

I figured it might need a fuel filter so installed a new one last weekend. I bled it through and the car was fine since. 
 

until today. 
 

it’s cutting out while driving at low speeds again! 
 

It’s not thrown any light on the dash and no codes have been stored to read. I'm going to put some injector cleaner through it. 
 

And ideas here? 
 

 

Odd there are no codes etcc. Could be air getting into diesel system or a long shot but not sure if the fuel cap is vented. Had an old van that did the same. Fuel cap vent was blocked and caused a vacuum. would stop randomly and then after a while would start again. Eventually stopped completely as bottom of tank caved in under vacuum and blocked fuel uptake. I assumed it was an in tank filter.

Yeah, I really expected there to be a code stored but these nothing. 
 

my initial thoughts are that it’s got to be fuel related. 
 

hopefully the injector cleaner diesel treatment cleans it up

Meant to add It could be electrical. Does the dash go blank when it happens or are there all the ignition lights on. If all the lights are still on it might be a fuel pump issue or fuel cut off. I think the pump is in tank. Not sure what number fuse on yours or if the pump has a relay? If its fuel related I doubt it would throw up a code, Car probably thinks its ran out of diesel I have in the past cars that have had fuel pump problems. One had an in tank filter that came loose and started floating about so when tank was half empty started drawing in air. If its running well most of the time I doubt injector cleaner would help.
