Hi, looking for some help guys...desperately.
61 xf 3.0d , last night on M4, pulled out to overtake at about 75-80, red triangle, engine system warning message. Car died,didn't even go to limp mode..managed to get to inside lane, couldn't get to hard shoulder cos it was barriered off! Traffic officers , police, very dangerous situation. ...
Anyway traffic guys stopped all traffic,told me to get in and he'd push it 50 yards to hard shoulder, however, warning light had gone off, car started and drove it to safety of hardshoulder. Awaited recovery, had orange engine icon on dash but no red triangle. Ten minutes later, turned ignition on, engine icon had also gone off, car starts,sounds OK, no warnings. Got it recovered home.
Ideas gents? Bit of trawling on the net has me leaning towards fuel filter. ...With no warning lights on, will it have logged a fault if I have the codes read.?
Car was serviced in past month, not dealer, also had a mass air flow valve replaced just before Xmas.
70k on the clock
Thanks in advance
