Stop, for the love of all that is good & holy: STOP!

Just had a heart in the mouth moment.

I briefly lost power assist on my brakes  Luckily I was only doing about 5mph, but I still sh@t myself!

The engine is still running like a bag of spanners & idling around 500rpm, it seems to be related...

Anyone got any bright ideas?

coil-pack not working right

Possible, but had it on VAGCOM last week & it was only saying temp sensor

Sounds like a tractor atm

get your coils done under recall just phone vw give them your reg see if they are covered

check the pipes under the inlet manifold and the hose to the brake servo

With Topher on that, my mate recently had a hole in his brake booster pipe near the servo. Gave him a brown pants moment on the motorway at 70

Ill take a look in the morning. Thanks guys

The pipe to the servo comes off the inlet manifold, it'll be split somewhere ....

If the coil packs were knackered it would sound like a Subaru, start the car and unplug the harnesses to the coil packs one by one, you should get a drop in the engine if it's ok, if you unplug one and it does nowt it's buggered, I had one let go last year bought a full set to replace with so still have 3 working one's here......
