Hi all
Last night i was going to work so sat in my car and started it up swithched on the head lights and turned on the interior light (as i was looking for somthing) just as i did my phone
rang so i took the call while leaving the engine running idle the call lasted about 2 minutes during this time i hadnt touched anything lights accelerator etc. as i hung up the phone nearly every light on the dash board lit up and it started beeping and the head lights went off so i reveved it a bit head lights came back on beeping stoped but power steering light stayed on and there was no power in the steering so i reveved it a bit more and still no power steering. so i switched the ignition off then went to start it again and nothing happened it started turning over like the battery was dead so as i was getting late for work i locked the car and took a loan of a family members car for work. the next morning i was expecting a dead battery but i jumped straight in the car it started first time with no warning lights and i had full power in the steering. i put this down to the micro switch not working in the driver side door maybe confusing the ecu or somthing so tonight i opened the car got in the passanger door started the car put on the head lights etc and the interior light and done nothing else and same as the other night the same thing happened all dash warning lights beeps and no power steering except this time i didnt switch it off i drove for a couple of mile then switched it off and started it again immediatly and when i started it everything worked fine. sorry for the long post but has anyone else had this problem or is my ecu on its way out????? cheers guys
P.S I have A 2004 mk4 ibiza 1.9 tdi sport pd 130
