My car has an issue... When it gets to around 279mph or around there in 5th or 6th gear the revs die and you can't do anything you have to leave it for around ten seconds and then the engine will come back to life. Oh and the emissions light is on but that's been on and off for ages Is there you guys could suggest for me to try seen as I'm of work for chrimbo. Cheers

My car has an issue... When it gets to around 110mph or around there in 5th or 6th gear the revs die and you can't do anything you have to leave it for around ten seconds and then the engine will come back to life.

Of course you are driving at 110mph on a private road

Sounds like your turbo's been zapped by the Police Radar Speed Reducer Gun , Slow Down , it won't happen again

I don't remember asking what people think about the speed, I was asking for advice on the fault. Don't have vcds ill either contact someone on the list or pay a garage. Cheers joedarka

It's possibly overboosting which is throwing it into limp mode...is the car mapped?

I think it's fair enough for people to comment on the speed you posted; don't be so touchy.

After the road deaths on the M6 over Christmas you think it is okay to travel at 110mph and pick up an immediate ban carry on!

It was only some friendly advice and some members on here  may or may not be Police

Actually the 10 second thing...sounds like DV or N75 may be sticking open. As Joe says a scan should show the issue.

[spimmers]

No the car isn't mapped. I had problem a few weeks ago the car was misfiring which ended up being coil packs done free of charge due to recall. Checked the coil packs they seem to be seated ok and the cables are connected correctly.

Do you have a forge DV?

[spimmers]

No I did change the DV for a rev d one in September?

[Tortaruga]

Ok I can't really help...maybe someone else has heard of a Rev D sticking open? You could take it off and squirt some lube into it as it's a piston type...I know the forge ones need maintenance to keep them working properly, but have never heard of a Rev D needing this.

Might be worth a try though.

Someone much more knowledgeable than me is required!

[spimmers]

Cheers, I did buy the DV second hand of someone on here so could be something like that, what lube should I use on it?
