Strange shut down problem....
Greetings from Greece.
I have a S5 FC3C '91 turbo II with 117.000km on it.
My compression is kinda low on one rotor and i am thinking about a rebuild.
The problem that my car has is the following:
When its a hot day and i get stuck in the traffic the engine SOMETIMES shuts down suddenly like i am shutting it of with the key.
Usually the rpm needle dives suddenly to 650k and then rises up again but as i said sometimes it shuts down.I repeat that the needle dives suddenly,brutally and fast....its not like the usual idle problems.
Does anyone know why this happens???
I have noticed that when this occurs the light in the gauges cluster trembles.
Can it be electrical???
Any ideas???
I thank you in advance

I'd say electrical. It kind of sounds like a short somewhere, but i couldn't say where. You might check the TPS and for vacuum leaks as that can also cause problems.
Do you have any mods btw?
