Well lads, I'm done. Only a month ago when my gearbox went and now again...
Have been driving all day and car was running great. And now at about 0:00 was coming back home from the city when suddenly the engine lost power, and just switched off.
Saw the lights on the dashboard and noticed --------- as boost value on the FC commander
Pulled over then and tried to start it: CEL light was turning on and off.. like with the connection problem, APEXI couldn't switch on (just froze on the initial screen with Apexi sign) something was clicking under the bonnet too...
Called my flat mate to come with help and because we didn't have the toeing rope, started driving around looking for one at the petrol stations (at 1:00 ) finally we found and returned to the car.
I tried to start it and... the engine caught on! Started to drive it and it was going as usual, except stalling on idle. (no idle at all) then after a mile it stopped again
I have no idea what it can be.. tried all connectors under the bonnet and looking good.
What comes up my mind... I cleaned the engine and the bonnet from inside on Saturday morning... but the car was running perfect since.. and I was driving a lot during the weekend ....
Sorry for my sh1t english, but I'm devastated today seriously.. I love this car so much and it's the best thing in my life. Was going to drive to Dublin next day for U2 concert.. and plans went
I know that hens had the same problem one year ago what you can see here http://www.isdc.ie/discussion/index.php?topic=6997.msg84557#msg84557
And the car fixed itself ... so there must be something with the connections or I don't really know.
