Hi,

I firstly would like to introduce myself, as you've probably worked out from my username i'm called Daz.

Bought my 55 plate Tornado Red GTi 2 months ago absolutely love it, big into Vw's got a 1982 T25 camper, big into the whole club camping thing.

BUT.... the old Golf has been a bit of trouble, I picked the car up from the dealer, not VW but a very respectable dealer, after 2 days the engine management light came on, to cut a long story short they ended up replacing the cat after about 2 weeks of running backwards and forwards and a lot of phone calls.

The 2 months warranty they gave me is now up, just been out this morning and the car seems ok pulling off and accelarating, gave it a blast along a dual carriageway, got the 70mph warning, put my foot down in sixth and the car dies, doesn't cut out but is abslotulely flat and won't pull anymore.

I backed off the gas & it returns to normal.
Can anyone give me some advice.
Heres a piccy

Welcome Daz!  :drinking:

Just edited your post as I'm sure you don't want any trouble from the boys in blue!

Could be a number of things tbh mate. If your local to with someone with VAGCOM they may be able to diagnose the fault, failing that a main agent should charge no more than around £30 to diagnose.  :happy2:

worth having a warranty then if your ride has ghosts, i can recommend warrantydirect if it helps, they allow dealer repairs in the policy too
