Hi all, I have a MY00 UK turbo standard. I was sitting at a set of lights yesterday and it just cut out and wouldn't restart. I pushed it to the side of the road with the help of the local plod and phoned the AA. About 10 mins later it just restarted with no probs!. Then today on the way home from work coming down the A1m it seemed to hesitate a couple of times whilst accelerating in 5th gear but didn't cut out, sat outside my house for a cuppla mins cooling engine and everything seemed fine? Any ideas peeps?

Have you got a VTA (Vent To Atmosphere) Dumpvalve by any chance ??

 

No standard d/v, always run on Tesco 99

 

could be start os air flow sensor problems usually get lumpy idle too though

 

Thanks jue, but the idle seems to be fine. I have been told it may be the boost solenoid so I am going to give that a clean today!

 

I had an r Plate one that had boost solenoid problems but that just lost boost in top gear and felt like the engine had died altogther but it hadn't. The dealer just blew it out with an air line and no more problems, I thought I had blew the engine the first time it happened. Good luck but dont get scammed on getting it done its only a two minute job.

 

Thanks byby have got to do it tomorrow now as I was busy today. Didn't play up at all today though? Hopefully just a one off!

 

better check your main relay or the fuel pump relay. just my suggestion

 

Thanks Scooby, I will check that aswell!

 

Cut out again today! Turned out to be the 2nd circuit on the immobiliser to the fuel pump. All sorted now. Thanks for the suggestions.

 

P.S I now have a really clean boost solenoid!

 

feel free to pm me if you have more inquiries

 

Thanks Scooby!
