Engine shut down under boost - fail safe?
jonnym:
Over the last week, my golf has been driven hard. Probably very hard, red lining, aggressive down shifts etc etc you get the picture.
My golf on four occassions has cut out with the battery symbol showing on the dash. General it's either when i'm slowing from high speed and/or in neutral rolling to traffic lights/obstruction. I initially thought it was me stalling it as I was still getting used to the new clutch, but now driving over 1000 miles with it and pretty much got the grip of it.
Restarting the golf works fine and off we go again. No issues. I can't help but think it's a fail safe, but never had this happen before. Doesn't seem to have had any impact but just be interesting to see if others have had similar.

Dsg or manual?

What could it be, my car is doing the exact same thing ! :driver:
:sad1:
It is also "self revving" when the clutch is pressed in, it doesn't rev past 1.5 - 2.0 rpms, just curious as to what could cause it to happen...
:happy2:

Ohh, interesting. Mine doesn't self rev but that's interesting getting the same. Take it no adverse consequences?!

Ahh I would!! I'm away in Manchester 11th jan, but apart from the run up and down, won't be driving much so touch wood will be fine. I'll phone you today/tomorrow as I need to come up anyway! :)
