Started car as usual this morning, drove about 1/4 mile, rev counter drops to zero, traction control light comes on and oil pressure warning light comes on with message warning"stop! no oil pressure stop motor!" and she just cuts out and breaks down.
switch off and on ignition, traction light still on and it just turns over wont start, repeated this and she started. went a further distance the same happens again i break down with the warning lights back and a truck nearly runs up my ass, proving in these days its dangerous to break down...
pulled over and restarted and runs fine for about a minute and just cuts out. i kept doing this and i noticed the engine ran longer each time before cutting out and by the time it got to 90 on the temp gauge the problem didnt return, i then drove 60 miles and it cut out only once and so far no problem since.
the only thing i can think of was i power washed the engine bay yesterday but was ok on the 20 mile trip home and only came to light this morning, would water have soaked into connectors?
i put vag com on it, no faults on ECU but the instrument cluster registered " no communication, intermittent", that came up everytime it cut out.
