Just out of curiosity...

Has anyone not had the classic "engine cutting out" syndrome. I havent for one , am I alone?

[Wayne]

I never had it on my 8v.

you didnt have it long enough tho wayne   

I have had mine cut out twice but only when alot of electricals were in use and only while turning round a corner, which is scary when the power steering doesnt work lol. a quick rev and its back running lol.

Wen i eventually get round to changing a leaky oil breather pipe and checking my vac pipes and cleaning the throttle body, it should be fine. (BUT my Idle is fine, and runs perfect...) Think most problems of cutting out are sensor probs, coils etc.

I had mine 3+ years without any issues..... (although the last owner put a new maf on due to cutting out only 4 weeks before i got it)

Biggest issue i have had with my 8v in 2 years, is that one of the leds that shines on the clocks broke last night.

So now i cant see the petrol gauge that well in the dark.

Bad times.

Is it just me or all of the "big players" on the mk3 board their cars haven't cut out on them?

None here though.
