Temporary lack of power
« on: 12 February 2010, 21:16 »
 Took the car for a quick spin yesterday, pulled away from a roundabout and got to 5500 rpm in second and then when i changed to third there was no power, so slowed down dropped down a gear and still gutless.
 Pulled over and turned engine off and on, drove off and still gutless. could hear the turbo spinnging but wasn't at full chat. after about a minute of driving all was back to normal and its been fine since.
 Any ideas?? the engine light didn't come on.

 I have vag com but haven't had chance to check for codes yet. I thought the engine light would of come on if there was a fault?

try doing the same again see if it happens! the reason i say it is because you might have a boost pipe split opening up at high boost!
