The stone chip idea did cross my mind...had the joy of that experience on an earlier car and it sounded totally different. 

Hey h...the dealers can have a look.

Dealers have confirmed it's the o/s front wheel bearing.  Got it booked in Monday to have it replaced - assuming they can get the part in time.

Does anyone think that the power-loss issue may be connected to this?

I'm just a bit disappointed that the bearing has gone so quickly.  Could this be connected to the lowering of my car?  I guess that may have exposed it to more pressure/wear?

Whey hey... all sorted.  Nice new front bearing replaced under warranty.  Perhaps this may have an impact on the power loss issue?

Good good  :smiley:  -  Well, your the only one who can answer that. Keep us informed...

I certainly would recommend VWR to check the power loss issue if it keeps recurring. They certainly know what they're doing, anyone here can clarify that, especially R.R   :happy2:

Update:  No recurrence of the sudden power loss issue.  Still a bit sceptical whether its cured.  If I wanted VWR to have a look at it how much would they charge, and where are they based?

VWR are in Milton Keynes, but general repairs or warranty work aren't their bag.

Maybe try a mainstream indie like APS in Brackley if your looking for someone in the bucks area.  :happy2:

Damn!!!   :fighting:  The power loss issue happened again last night whilst I was pushing the car a bit.  Twice!!!  :sad1:

It's totally weird - I'm not sure if something like the DV is failing or its something else...  :rolleye:

Appreciate any ideas of what I can check, or get the dealers to check whilst in for servicing tomorrow?

P.S.  Should I just replace the DV with the Forge one to eliminate the OEM DV from the equation?

UPDATE:  Dealership have been able to pick-up a registered fault code: "Turbo/Super Charger Underboost static" (00665 P0299 002)

I'm booked in to have the following replaced:

Pressure Regulating Valve
Part Nos: 06F 129 101L and 06F 103 48 E

Cut off Valve
Part No: 06H 145 710 D

Question 1a: Am I right to assume the "cut off valve" is the same as the "diverter valve"?
Question 1b: And is the part no. for the latest revision D that I have seen mentioned?

Question 2: What on earth is the pressure regulating valve?

Thanks in advance.

the cut-off valve is the latest piston type part no, as for the pressure regulating valve? N75?

Sounds like you traction contol is cutting in... Have you tried turning this off and see if yours does it still. Mine does it, totally drops all power when i get too enthusiast on the faster pedal.To the point when it does you almost head butt the steering wheel. :confused:

Surely, when you ease off the accellerator and try applying the power back on it should all be back to normal... and I can't see the traction control kicking in while at 6th gear on a bone dry road.

Thanks anyway  :jumpmove:

I share the frustration with this one Steve, I too have almost head butted the steering wheel. Can be kind of embarrasing on occaisons.

If the weather's dry and I'm pushing it I usually turn the TC off.

To hazard a guess traction is probably more of a challenge with a K04 turbo - rather than my humble K03.
