Strange Behaviour
This doesn’t happen all the time but annoying when it does, sometimes when accelerating to overtake the car just losses all power and stutters, this lasts anything upto 10 seconds then it will be fine, it’s as if it’s flooding the engine or something. Has anyone else come across this or anyone got any idea what it could be? The car is a MY00 UK Turbo.
Cheers,
Chris

Sticking butterfly valve in the turbo is my guess - usually caused by overfilling the engine with too much oil
