Golf MKV 1.9 TDI 2006 55000 miles. Recently bought this car and had no problems for the first month.
Then I had red flashing oil light, flashing coil and solid 'skidding car' with message "STOP, oil pressure, engine off, owners manual". The rev counter also stops working.
I stopped and checked oil level etc, all fine, and when i started the engine again there were no warnings. I drove on as the engine sounded fine but 10 miles down the road the same thing happened. This time I called rescue people and they towed me home.
The car has been in the garage and they found the following fault codes: 005660, 000802. They couldn't decide what the issue was, service the car (it was overdue) and said the car would be fine to drive.
I drove the car home from the garage with no problems. However when I drove to work the following day I experienced the same problem. I have also seen the engine warning light come on and the message "emmisions garage". Does anyone recognise this behaviour?
I have driven this car for 10-15 miles with the warning light on and rev counter off (i know), the engine sounded 100% but the turbo might not have been functioning, i drove very steady. Again, when I restarted the engine all the warnings has gone and the car drove as new for a couple of miles.
Any ideas? Many thanks for reading...
