 After 30 000km I had this experience. Driving from a side road onto a main road and turning 90 left the gearchange (??) just stopped and car lost all propulsion energy for 1 sec. Felt like a sharp pause in driving. Then Ok rest of the day. First unsmooth feeling, obviously something going wrong. No other problems, gearshift normally perfect, changed 3liter oil at 50 000.

Ideas ?

Worry or not worry ?

 I had the same last December - it was a blocked fuel filter, I suggest you have it replaced.

 I wouldn't worry unless it happens again.

 New fuel filter less than 20 000 km ago.

 Fuel filter life time depends very much on fuel quality. I have yet to experience a fuel filter on my C6 lasting over 10.000 km, but diesel quality is notorious bad on Aruba.

 I think Norwegian Diesel is clean. I only use premium Shell and the old filter was clean when changed (at 45 000 km). I will wait, if it starts to happen often, new filter is a simple and Ok thing to do.
