hi there was on my way home before on the motorway doing 65 and i tried accelerating and the power was on off on off etc etc for about 3 miles it did it continously i have had occasional little blips but this was major so i have spent the last couple of hours trawling through some posts and the faq but nothing the same i will have to have a look at the vacuum hoses tomorrow but i am not sure that is the problem as it surely would stay with no power if a hose wasnt supplying vacuum to wastegate map sensor etc has anyone had this fault or is it just starting a problem with the vac pipes

cheers si

Hi Si

 

I'm not an expert but you may find it useful to check out the posts on 'turbo problems' I seem to recollect that when the turbo blades are dirty they cannot open properly and that gives a loss of power. Usually this happens if you rarely open the turbo by using the revs.

 

good luck
