Hi guys I am posting on behalf of a friend, any ideas or thoughts on the subject would be much appreciated!
Hi, I have a 206 1.4 HDI 2002. It has a very very intermittent fault where it will cut out on idle, it only does it when it has got to temperature and you know it's coming because the engine will start hunting a few seconds before. The engine will start again almost straight away after cutting out.
I have had this problem for 3 years and cannot figure it out.
Just had a service, changed air filter, fuel filter which had made no difference.
Thanks

Have you hooked it up to PP2000 to see if any codes are being stored?
AS a pre-2004 diesel, it isn't likely to work with any cheap diag systems as it is pre-EOBD days.

Thanks for your reply. We haven't had it hooked up to a p2000, I guess that would be a good place to start.
My friends done quite a lot of research into it, he did find an air pipe detached at the rear of the engine which was then reattached and seemed to solve the issue for a while but it returned.
Just to confirm it happens when up at normal temperature and normally idling in traffic. I don't know a lot about the diesel engines as I own a petrol, however looking online people say it could be tiny pin holes in the fuel lines letting air into the fuel?
Seems a weird one as it can be started up straight after and no eng warning lights are displayed.
Again thanks for any help on this!

Thats correct, the low pressure fuel lines under the airbox rub through and gain pin holes allowing air in
