Another day another problem!!
« on: 06 February 2011, 23:58 »
Last couple days the car has been cutting out when driving  :shocked: i lose steering and braking and get battery light show up on dash. Now i do 1 of 2 things coast to a stop and restart car or drop it into 2nd and bump start and everything is fine again until next time it happens, checked vagcom no engine faults, all pipes/ leads are fine.
Any one with any ideas what this could be?
Cheers Michael

Sounds like the coil!

When in gear the engine has to work harder to push the car forward, hence the misfire.

I had the same misfiring when accelerating or at high RPMs. Eventually coil packed up and it wouldn't fire up again.

Test it with a muilty meter and make sure it is getting the correct charge when running.

just happen again so called into my mates whos got vagcom aswell and this is what his showed up

   Component: 1.8L R4/5VT MOTR HS D02
   Coding: 04000
   Shop #: WSC 00028
2 Faults Found:

would this be the cause of engine cutting out?

temp sensor could be causing overfuelling (full choke) so maybe thats your misfire?

has your mate wiped them so you can retest and be sure there not old codes?

how longs it been since its had a service?

my first thought was maf, if it was alternator then it wouldnt have restarted, if it was bettery then thered be more signs of it dying

Yeah we've wiped codes so will see over the next few days if they come back, temp is old code that I know about but boost is a new one,  service is due 1700 miles.
