Engine cut out while driving normally

So yano my new 306 playing up lol ive kinda fixed it but need confirmation. can a sudden low oil pressure cause the engine to cut out ? i found that this "pipe" was like this, and since putting it back has been fine.... lol

Looks like it's odd on that was the problem but could be lot of things really. Did you top it up with oil? Cut outs can be caused by a blockage in the fuel pipe, dirty fuel, problem with the ECU if you have one. I am sure somebody else will come along and suggest others. I would do a few more miles in it and see what happens or pop it to a mechanic.

It's the moon and back miles its done!

but nah keep it how it is, if it happens again then take it back, I'm sure low oil pressure would play some part in the engine cutting out. It was probably that pipe hanging off that caused the low oil pressure in the first place.

Just asked my dad about if an engine would, because i was intrigued and he said yes because it would suck in too much air ...

That is a good idea and breakdown . I am with Autonational rescue and they are pretty cheap. Saves a lot of worry.

I thought that'd fix the problem... nope. cut out twice on my last journey.

Have you got any warranty? You probably need to get it to the garage and get a krypton/diagnostic check. If there is a electronic management system then it could be a software fault. Mine just cut out one day and it was a software fault in the ECU. They downloaded the software and fixed it. Cost £35. Have you asked the person you bought it from?
