car keeps cutting out.
« on: 27 September 2010, 19:20 »
anyone fancy solving this?

got a 1.8t agu. doesn't cut out all the time, usally once every fortnight maybe? but it's done in 3 times in the last 5 minutes. getting very frustrating. and when the car's idling, the revs like to drop and shoot back up. and sometimes, the throttle pedal seems to do nothing, it's almost as if it's been disconnected. for example, i'm driving along in 3rd, change to 4th, but the car doesn't build up any speed. sometimes the car just stops for a split second (very similar to tapping the brake pedal)

any help will be appreciated thanks.

Had car at r tech about 2 months ago, and they cleaned it I think. Still think it's worth a clean? Think it could be anything else causing this? :/ thanks

hmm, happened again today. had my foot fully pressed on the accelerator pedal and car was just rolling, no acceleration. I have to let go then press again in order to get it to work. put the clutch down.. and the revs just drop. i'll order a vagcom cable off ebay now  :undecided:
