I have to be honest, I am not too familiar with this specific model. I don't think they sell them in the US. However, I will try my best to help.

When the car dies, does it start right back up? Have you checked fuel pump pressure to make sure it is within the manufacturer's specs? If it is weak, it can cause stalling and a hard start condition.

Let me know.
