Kombi starts, idles then switches off

Hello

I am having an issue with my VW T6 kombi 2.0, it start, idle for few seconds and cut. It loses power on lower gears.

No dash warning light, on 285 000km service done, changes the pressure sensor, i am suspecting injectors but not sure if using injector cleaner would be adviceble or should i get them cleaned.

Injector cleaner only works on a running engine. Have you had fault codes read / diagnostics?
Playing "parts darts" could be expensive, get the fault diagnosed.
Hope you get it fixed and let us know what the problem was.

I always start with the basics for symptoms like that - like air filter. Loss of power could well be blocked air filter. Given where you are, is the van used in dusty conditions?

No it is used on normal environment moves around town. I did a full service, still start and switches off

MAF dead ..? I would watch the injector values on vcds whilst starting up and dying, see if you can spot any values shutting off..? limiting anything ..
You may have an air leak on the fuel filter ..? even a wild guess that pickup blocked in tank .. ?
As it's not registered on vehicle management then currently no info so a physical issues possibly ..
