Brand New Battery And Car Now Stalling

[darkchild101]

Changed batteries today and put in the Optima red top which is supposedly the right battery for the 2.5 CRD. Drove home from the garage distance of about 7 miles. Car was parked for 5 mins and I started it to go to the shops and it stalled/cut out after 20 mins. Tried restarting it and it wouldnt start so I thought maybe needs fuel and I put in 7 litres as it was running low. It restarted then cut out again. Started it and cur out again. Final time it started and didnt cut out but was idling rough. There was a strange noise coming from the back and it was definitely from the back and it woild stop when I pressed the brakes (i wasnt moving at this stage). Noticed the oil light had came on and the engine management light was on I let it idle for about 5 mins and drove it back home. Oil light went out on its own nut engine light stayed on

 

Any ideas

Key dance brought up code P0340

[bigal]

is that code for a faulty cam sensor relay

[T14086]

I would check the wiring at relays located on landing panel infront of battery as easily disturbed when changing battery and they will have become brittle over the years.

 

P0340 is cam sensor and cause non-start, has connector been disturbed? (from memory its under engine cover)
