So, I'm driving home from work at, erm, highway speed in my MY08 Spec B when the dash blacks out and I lose all power.
It coughs and splutters and the dash lights all flicker on and off.
It does this a few times for a few hundred meters until I can pull over safely, by which time it has stalled completely.
I crank it , but no start. Ignition fully off for 30 sec, then it starts but runs like crap with the CEL and stability light on, plus the cruise and [S] indicator flashing. Put it into drive and the revs hunt up and down while I idle it into a safe parking spot. Didn't have time to even open the bonnet - had to get home.
Now, a CEL + flashing cruise could be anything really (I don't have an OBD), but all the other blacking out, etc has me worried. This sort of $#!+ shouldn't happen on a 50,000km car!
Any thoughts while I wait to talk to the service agent tomorrow?
