Hi, I have recently purchased a 1.5D Cx3 and this morning the accelerator pedal started hesitating when pressing it and on one occasion the car stalled at traffic lights. The infotainment system also displayed a 'Road surface icing' warning.
Has anybody had this before. Could the warning affect my use of the gas pedal or are the symptoms a sign of a fuel issue.
Any advice gratefully appreciated
Gas pedal hesitancy
Could be the diesel becoming waxy and partially blocking the fuel filter. Add a bit of unleaded petrol to the fuel tank (no more than 5% by volume) over the cold months. It's called "winter diesel" and prevents the above happening. Some people have swapped the fuel filter in haste or just waited for it to warm up!

Possible, but the UK forecourts should be selling winter diesel by now with anti-waxing agents making it good down to -15C (UK summer diesel should be good to -5C) https://www.icompario.com/en-gb/fuel-ca ... he-summer/
Plus the CX-3 has a heater in the diesel fuel filter housing (if working correctly).

Every day is a school day. Didn't know about the heater in the fuel filter housing. Very cold weather does have a habit of bringing the automotive gremlins out!jtonline wrote: ↑Tue Dec 13, 2022 8:20 pm Possible, but the UK forecourts should be selling winter diesel by now with anti-waxing agents making it good down to -15C (UK summer diesel should be good to -5C) https://www.icompario.com/en-gb/fuel-ca ... he-summer/
