So let's say you're driving your B4 up a hill and the constant boost deviation causes a limp mode. No real problems, just a tune issue. Instead of limping it up the rest of the mountain, and instead of slowing down to restart the engine, what do you do? (restarting ignition kills limp mode)
Do you continue coasting at 55-65 mph and just restart in neutral? Do you slow down or go to a full stop and then shut down and restart the engine?
Any damage that can result in doing this at a high speed?
I don't like the idea of having a car off at all, but sucks-to-be-me heading home and I start smoking heavily, slowing down and looked like a tool with a busted head gasket! Bad TDI advertisement!
Shut her down as soon as it happens and restart without a blink?
