Can u drive 80 miles with it in that condition??

Just take it easy, keep your engine off boost whe using higher gears at low rpm and you should get that journey completed.

Right guys went to garage this morning and told the guy what happened.. He too firstly thought might be clutch. After a test drive by both men there they both said it wasn't that. According to the diagnostic machine it came up as an over boost fault? He said it wouldn't be a problem right now but if it was to keep shutting down then bring it back..??

What use think?

Does the car go into limp mode after the overboost? i.e. no turbo power at all until you cycle the ignition.

Golfs don't tell you on the screen, certainly not on midline anyway.

Mine happened about 4-5 times, about 3 months after my remap, but hasn't done it since.  :confused:
