I told her i was interested for my family car, but now im on the fence.


What say you oh great forum readers?
It's not a diesel, but I imagine that if anyone can fix it, you can. That is if you have the time!

I saw this thread on Reddit. Has some useful owner & mechanics experience:

If engine is cutting out, could be anything - fuel pump, fuel pump relay, other relays, faulty CPS etc. A good scanner should be able to locate cause of cut out. Does it not display any codes?
