Im having a few little problems, when driving at a constant speed (say 40 or 60) the car will suddenly lose power ie it starts to slow down so I put my foot down and it it just splutters and then eventually you here the turbo spin and away it goes again. this has also happened when pulling away from a roundabout in second the car seemed to splutter forward until eventually (maybe 5-10 seconds later) it goes.

I never have this problem when driving hard only when driving round normally? Also sometimes when I Pull up at lights, Roundabouts etc the engine idles very badly ie it'll go from 200 - 1000 - 700 RPM etc

any ideas? im taking to the dealer again soon but last time they said they just reset the ECU (there was no difference)

cheers

Leon

Sounds like it might be a duff MAF....

The dealer should be able to check for sure...
