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

Love how its now 279mph

....Yeah, I noticed that too. I think it was stated at around 110mph in one post.

Putting aside the question of the dubious wisdom of doing 110mph on the UK's public roads for now, it sounds as if an engine limiter is kicking in but I don't know anything about the TDi's.

Irrespective of any 279mph warp speeds it might be helpful for someone to know the RPM at which the power dies.

, what lube should I use on it?

KY Jelly is good  , or synthetic red grease is what they use on Forge DV's I think.

But I would use a grease that they use in the automotive industry. KY might break down and disappear.

Maybe he should change his user ID to Tool Dreamer..............279mph  

Or post that he really was doing 110mph but it was on a runway or German Autobahn................  some folks ...., Brain engage, Mouth Open/Fingers at keyboard, Speak/Type...........

As has been said it sounds like its overboosting and going into limp mode... you need to get it scanned.

On what planet!

Have you checked the fenway valve? Mine has the same problem as you only at 278mph and it turned out to be that. As for lube I just us a bit of spit or go dry for a bit of friction.
