Engine shut down under boost - fail safe?
scopes:
From what i'm aware this can be down to the weather, or cold/war air causing moisture...
Maybe a new gasket for the PCV fix and a good run!
:confused:
Could a boost leak cause this to happen?

Mine looks like that all the time, is the under side of your oil cap like that? Short journeys is all I do and its like that.

Hey matey
no no, the odd time i would get the milky stuff round the oil cap, but thats only on short journeys, most the other times i check it clean.
car getss serviced every 4-5k miles, always used castrol 5 - 30.
Always geniune parts.
I did clean it the other day, then checked angain the day after, it was not anywhere near as bad, so i will run it for a week and then check and again 2 weeks after that...
Anywhere i have read about this, it seems to be the cold weather, with the cold weather in, i would not get on, many longer journeys, maybe just needs a good run...

Yes rich, when the car goes to die off, the revs bounce, splutters, then just stops, the battery light then comes on, which gives me the indictation to bump start it to keep on the move, if need be...
:happy2:
hope you understand the way i have explained this???? :fighting2: :signLOL:

Just thought I'd mention as my PCV looked like that till I removed it and fitted a catch can. Still get that sh1te everywhere tho, but I just give it a decent run and it goes. Don't think it's anything to do with your other fault. Hope you get to the bottom of it.
Could it be a dodgy earth / ground point or a bad battery?
