Car keeps cutting out :(
« on: November 25, 2011, 05:53:31 pm »
Sods law. On the eve of Stage2, the f*cker breaks down.

When coming to a stop the car will loose all revs and just stall. It's intermittent so some times it will happen every time you start the engine. And some times it won't.

The pudding heads at the AA plugged in diagnostics and it showed nothing apart from the catalytic convertor light due to the 3" downpipe decat but it's just a basic bit of kit.

Any ideas guys? I'm ready to throw a match on the thing.  :sad1: :sad1:

Nick

Ps. Car is dsg

Odd that a DSG will just loose revs and stall

Can you get VCDS on it properly?

Could the fitting of coilovers have knocked something?

Miles away from me  :sad1: Would of scanned it if I was closer!

Have you checked coilpacks/sparks?

Umm it depends there are some fragile sensors down there, but I wouldn't think they could have got to them from the wheel arches

Did it just start to happen out the blue?

Is the oil cap on and is the dipstick pushed down all the way?

Do you get any engine lights?

Been mapping boring, non challenging stuff all week, was looking forward to doing a nice stg2 Tfsi tomorrow.

If it will make it up here then I will gladly give it a look over, im guessing a fuel pressure issue when it cuts out is it when coming to a stop or does it cut out randomly, i.e at speed and under load?

You have my number if you need any help over the weekend. I have a guy in Doncaster with vagcom, sure he will help out if hes available over the weekend.
