Hi All

Driving to work today, my 80 mile each way commute - and about half way in noticed that I was slowing down. Put my foot down and nothing happened. I was only getting 2k RPM max.

Car was perfectly happy at about 70mph so carried on. Noticed that I had that familiar sounding wooshing noise when I revved so I suspected the intake hose had popped off.

Got to work and started vag-com. Read a boost pressure fault and popped the hood - yes the hose was loose.

I have to love this engine - the same thing happened in my 1.9 and I was crawling along at 20mph, not 75 /images/graemlins/wink.gif
