Engine Cutting Out When Reved Hard

[stevey]

i've had my 1999 galaxy tdi 90 for a couple of months and sometimes when i drop down a gear and rev it the engine dies,

i turn the ignition off then on and its fine! it doesnt always do it but a sod if you are overtaking!

throttle pot?

Hi and welcome to the forum

Sounds like your going into limp mode which is reset by stopping and restarting engine, check with Vagcom first then do a search on here with your results for possible repairs.
