A weak ago the car started the behave strangely. While accelerating on the highway the engine cut out, revs dropped and glow plug light started flashing. Used paperclip diagnostic method to read flash codes. It showed 8-6 or p0116 Engine Coolant Temperature sensor circuit. The glow plug light went out the next day, but although I bought a genuine oem fuel filter and installed it. Everything was alright until today when the car cut out again while overtaking and glow plug light flashing again. Read flash codes again and only 8-6 is there. Checked the connection to the sensor down under on the radiator and is OK, but I think this fault refers to the sensor near the thermostat. Could anyone here confirm that this sensor could throw this fault and symptoms?
Thank you!
