Hi all,
Have just purchased my second 2005 zd30 D22 and have come across this issue. Purchased the car from a deceased estate so hadnt been driven much and took it to the mechanic who changed all filters and oils and gave it a once over for all clear.
I was driving it onto the free way after driving for about 35 minutes and accelerating off a long left hand on ramp when the car seemed to shudder (similar feeling to a boost cut) and the engine light came on. Pulled over and turned it off and on again and was fine for about 10 km when once again it happened. As i only had 1/4 tank and thought it may have been old/bad diesel I filled up and added injector cleaner and the car drove fine to my destination about 35 minutes away at 100 km/h. Left the car for 2 hours and started the drive home. About 30 minutes in it happened again, lost power for a fraction of a second and engine light. I kept driving for a bit to find a safe spot to pull over and the engine was seriously struggling, and running rough. This kept happening as I tried to get it home except by the end of it turning the car off would only have it driving well for a minute or two.
Took it to the mechanic and no fault codes, plus he couldnt get it to happen. I drove it this morning for an hour around town to get it to replicate but once again wouldnt happen. Any advice as I'm meant to be going on a decent length camping trip and would want this sorted well before I end up hitting the tracks.
Thanks guys
