Hi all,
I have had some issues on my car recently which have got a lot worse on my journey home from work today. About two weeks ago I was turning a corner in second gear and the car lost power and the glow plug/engine management light came on. A swift on and off cured the problem and it had not occurred again UNTIL TODAY!!! Again I was turning a corner in second gear and the car briefly lost power but regained it quickly without throwing a dash light. 500 yards later, however this time going straight, it did it again throwing the glow plug/engine management light. Again an off and on cured it however it proceeded to do it again two more times within the next 200 yards, however on the final time it threw the power steering light as well! Earlier today i also noticed my temp gauge had stopped working.
I have booked the car into the garage an hopefully it can be a nice easy fix! I'm hoping that the temp censor has broken which has cause all the other symptoms.
I have a 1.4 tdi 90bhp 2004 model. Has anyone else had similar issues?
Cheers
Josh
