Slight problem

[knotty]

Was driving last night, all was fine for ages then i just happen to be slowing down for a set of lights and pressed the brake pedal to find it really hard to press.... my first thought was it could be this brake servo hose mentioned

however... the car is also gone into limp mode aswell at the same time, its spurting on idle and doesnt sound very healthy, it still drives though, aslong as i keep it above idle i can drive so i luckily made it home from where i was however everytime i took my foot off the accelerator it was as if the ECU wasnt keeping the engine alive so when i pressed the accelerator again it like lurched forward a bit.

looking for ideas, gonna vag-com it later even although the engine management light hasn't came on.

no real idea. but id try unplugging the maf to see if this makes any difference.

Yes, brake servo hose - if it's split it has caused a massive air leak. The engine management light will come on. Check the hose - with the engine running you should hear a new hissing noise from the engine bay if it's split - but you can check it visually anyway!

Quick start up with the bonnet open and i found the fault. 1 hose had came away from the intake manifold.

As I said, that's the brake servo vac hose ;-)

 

[andycupra]

so is that hose what the recall is for?????????

 

[johno1404]

Yes it is the hose that the recall was for. It goes from the intake to the brake servo. I had mine into Seat last week and they changed it even though i had a quick check and it all seemed ok. It was free so im not bothered

 

[knotty]

im going in tomorrow to get mine, ill change it myself if they have it in stock. the jubilee clips used are s**t though so i would make sure they use better ones
