This has happened twice now, first time I was going 70mph on a dual carriageway (with no hard shoulder) so was pretty sketchy as I just heard a thud and then flashing glow plug light and a load of ACC/front assist errors, I managed to coast with no power and hazards on to 30mph where I managed to restart the car and carry on as normal like nothing happened.
I scanned with OBDeleven and even had it in the garage a few days later for an engine management light and MOT, the light turned out to be a faulty cable they fixed. Now around a month later the same thing has happened again, I was approaching a roundabout and had a complete loss of power again and the same lights popped up again, stopped restarted and drove fine again, no thud this time, just went to accelerate on to the roundabout and had no power.
Will scan again later but also had my engine management light pop up again not long ago, which I'm waiting to get looked at. I thought it might be the same faulty cable throwing it up but now wondering if it's something else, I scanned the car when it appeared again but all I got was these three blank codes under 01 engine :
Trouble codes:
null - Unknown
Intermittent
null - Unknown
Intermittent
null - Unknown
static
Anyone experienced anything similar? Could it maybe be faulty glow plugs and causing a misfire? Car is really getting on my nerves lately.
