    I shoudnt participate in big mens talk, but ive had similar experience so i share my thoughts..

    very strange, but certain time of the year (2 months out of 12) my turbo kicks out at 4k rpm. and will continue to do so untill i restart my engine.

    very dangeraus as its happened to me while im attempting an *ahem" close overtake.

    the service record stats that kim colins himself changed some sort of turbo sensor (or some sensor around the turbo) which solved it.. well.. almost as this problem still happens to me .. umm.. i'd say 4 times a year. strange.. but very ture.

    now i will go back to playing with my toys and leave the big men to talk complicated electronic stuff... weirdos

      Strange strange strange strange strange!!!

      My car is also cutting out at about 3-4,000 revs... And sods law that this happens on the night I was about to put it in the autotrader (or this could just be a sign saying "DONT SELL IT ALPS! )

      Is it just me, or does anyone else suspect that these S2's all develop similar faults at the same time! I remember when all of a sudden a few members all had floods in their cars. Then it was sticking speedos! Tis a strange car hey!

      Anyways, either way my one is gonna have to go in to a mechanics now

      So, anyone know of any good ones in London???

      Or, has anyone been to VAG Sports in Braintree??? If so, how good are they?They aren't that far from my girlfriends so it shouldnt be that much trouble taking it to him. And I don't think the car will be able to make it all the way to Milton Keynes to Paul N.

      Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
