MK6 loses power, fixed when turned off and on.

Postby thewayifeel » Mon Sep 23, 2024 8:54 am

Hello!

I’ve got a 2004 MK6 transit. Every now and then, the engine management light pops on and blinks, accompanied by a complete loss of power/acceleration. The engine’s still running, but the gas pedal just doesn’t respond.

If I turn it off and on again, it’s just fine.

It’s also been occasionally idling a little higher at around 1000, 1200 revs. Again, fixed by being turned off and on again.

Anyone got an idea of what it could be?

Cheers!
