Make sure all relays are firmly in place. I've been having cutting out probsat junctions particul when braking gently. Took everybody's advice and went diving to check ECU relay etc. 56 was loose. Pushed em in and problem solved.  going to try her out again this eve to see if this was no fluke!!

Check knock sensor try getting a user with VAG-COM hooked up whilst running, this might be the cause of the problem.
