My Octavia's engine dies sometimes - why?

My engine on my Skoda Octavia 1.9 diesel sometimes just dies when slowing down (possibly under braking) but then will start again without any problem. What could it be?

Hi Geoff,

First thing we'd look at is the air flow meter. Try to get a known good one to swap and re-test.

Let us know how you get on.
