Final Final update on this in case it helps someone - After a month or so, I went out expecting the 8 turns of the engine and it wouldn't fire, everything was going through my head, "****, the position sensor was bad" "it wasn't installed correctly" etc. Knowing I would need a tow to my local...

Final update - I reckon the car is fixed. I took it on a few drives yesterday - maybe 10 miles each - enough to get it up to temperature and not a single glitch. Today I drove around 40miles this morning, motorway speeds and again, no issues! Thank goodness! The Crankshaft Position Sensor going...

So I took the car to a local garage and told him, "I need the Crankshaft Position Sensor changed". He treated me with contempt - "Yeah bring it down and we'll get it sorted for you". After looking at it he had two outcomes - The first one was 1. There's nothing wrong with your car (the P0335...

Apparently if the Crankshaft Position sensor is spoiled or wires are damaged, its fine starting, its only when the oil reaches temperature does it throw an error! I now believe that's what's happening to mine! Don't think I'll be able to change it myself (no guides), so local mechanic it is!

I ran the car this morning trying heat it the car up quick to let it reach temp - used 1800revs - and for the first time ever it threw an error when stalling! P0335 - Crankshaft Position Sensor I think I've found the issue! Gonna get it to my mechanic when I get paid! I had the car on the...

I'm going through every possibility just now - It's not that it waits until it's cool before it starts - it starts again after 5mins. Engine is still warm. I'm thinking of replacing the Crank Sensor (& Oil Pressure Switch) to see if any of these help. If not then it will be the bigger things...

No, it cranks over fine - it just doesn't fire immediately after stalling. For around 5mins it remains like this. Then fires up as normal. stays running, then stalls again after another 5mins (after the initial wait time). Then after the next 5 mins it fires up and is perfectly fine. Cheers J

When it stalled again, I tried to pump the bulb, but nothing, still didn't start! :(

Update, got the genuine fuel filter in today! Now fitted and started the car without issues. Let the engine idle until it got up to temperature holding my breath & then the bl**dy thing stalled again in the exact same way! Gutted! I'm now back to the beginning - Any ideas? It stalls when it...

Thanks buddy, this builds my confidence in my approach! It seems only to happen once temperature was reached, I *was* investigating whether a thermostat opening could cause the fuel or oil to be impacted, but ruled this out as "my brain is just being hyper" No harm getting the fuel filter...

Absolutely runs fine after this! I've been driving it again today even after a few hours off and its still running fine! There's no stuttering or issues for the rest of the day, which pushes me to a fuel issue - I reckon the "low fuel pressure" when it stalls is a red herring and I'm wondering...

Welcome everyone! I forgot to post in this welcome area before posting in another forum! Looking forward to getting more involved in learning about my Honda Accord 2.2 cdti 2008 mk7! I've fallen for this car big time!

Could it be the fuel filter? I had just filled the tank up with fuel (these days a small fortune) and its stalled 5 times in a row. So frustrating!

I wrote that post while waiting on the 2nd stall to clear! When it came back on, I drove off and then the engine threw up - 2 crank position sensors errors, 1 of them an intermittent error! Guess that's gonna be my first port of call!
