1.8 TDDi engine shut down whilst driving :-(

[LJTS]

I was driving along this morning on the motorway & the engine just died

Total loss of power!!!

I tried restarting but had no joy

the breakdown recovery driver thought it might be the cambelt

I've checked the cambelt & it's OK only replaced @ 60K miles

It's a Ford 1.8 TDDi engine, 03 plate with 85K on the clock

Anyone with any ideas of what could be the fault?

Anyone had to replace the injector pump on a 1.8 TDDi?

Are there any common failures/problems that people know of with the 1.8 TDDi engine?

Thanks :-)

Is there diesel in it? Either stuck fuel gauge, or blocked fuel filter?

Yes, nearly a full tank of diesel

I'll check the fuel filter & replace it

engine died instantly without any warning at 70mph!

turns over but no sign of life

Any DTC's?

My money's on the cam sensor...

Not had the DTC's read yet

I have it booked in next week at the garage for fault diagnosis!

Hopefully it will be something simple & not the Injection pump
