Morning,

My Diesel C2 has developed a strange fault. When it gets to a certain engine temperature,
it wants to cut out, if I accelerate fast (or try to!) .

It's a pretty hard cut out, the car really jolts / shudders, battery light comes on power steering dies, however it restarts immediately like nothing has happened.

My best guess is it becomes starved of air / fuel when I open the accelerator? It passes MOT, and I've cleaned out the DPF, with additive, a whole load of filth came out lol.

Once it's warmed up it's great no sign of any issue.

Just this annoying jolt at more or less the same area on my journey into work as that's where the engine reaches this temperature. My thoughts are a sensor, there are a few different temp / airflow sensor in these cramped diesel engines? But which sensor?

Any ideas? TIA

Sure it's a French ****box lol, but it only cost me £2k, it does 65mpg, the road tax is 30 quid.
If it could be fixed for £100 then I'd be happy enough, its cost me very little... so far.
