p reg mk3 8v gti keeps cutting out
« on: 25 October 2008, 08:15 »
has anyone else experienced this? there seems to be a relay "click" down near my right knee, that just cuts the engine- sometimes it starts again first try, other times it takes 20+ minutes! does any one have any ideas,as its been doing it for a while now, quite annoying when overtaking!!
