    Had exactly that problem with my 2013 diesel SZ. It used to surge intermittently at motorway speeds and then one day it died on the motorway at 100km/h, very exciting, the dash indicated it still had 50 km to empty. When the car was new I got down to 5 km to empty while on a country trip so I knew it shouldn’t stop with 50km of fuel left. The breakdown truck arrived and I said it seemed like it ran out of fuel so he through 5 litres in it, we primed it as per the operation manual and away we went!! Took it to the Mechanic who did a scan and discovered a low pressure error code and replaced the tank lift pump. Maybe asking clients about surging at lower fuel tank levels may be a vital clue.

    I get you point on faulty parts but your using worldpac and could have easily gotten a oem valve, which working on any german brand is pretty much parts buying 101. Either you or your customer was trying to be cheap and you paid the price.

    Hope you are well. Your channel videos are excellent. You already have a 11.1K subscriber which is a huge number. but unfortunately, your videos are not reaching the right people who really find in search about your content niche. They do not reach your videos in search results when they search for them. That's why your video's views and reach are very low. So I have some plans for your channel. Can I share?

    Excellent info and explanation of the problem I have with my Captiva. Two mechanics have not been able to find and solve the problem. Has taken a while to locate the RIGHT info to fix the car. Hopefully it will be solved by doing what you've explained. I'd rather not have to remove and dismantle the injectors to free them up, but will do if required.

      There is a diagram of the TFI circuit and also the injectors won't fire if the hall sensor isn't working or something like that. Check injector pulse with led test light. Make sure you're using a spark tester from an auto store and have good Earth's I would replace the coil first if you haven't all ready.

      @@moorabinda so just leave everything hooked up Remove coil lead connect your spark tester from coil to the engine block. If you have no spark remove dizzy cap. With a led test light is best. Test the 3 pins for power earth and signal I think from memory the 3 pin plug you see under the cap is from left to right signal earth power. The signal wire needs to have engine cranking you will get a flash on you test led test light to show hall sensor is working. You must have power and Earth so I suggest First test the signal. If it works then you power and Earth are good.
