I go on holiday for 2 weeks - Zed nicely tucked up in the garage.....

Ran perfectly before, I return from holiday and it's playing up!

 

Symptoms are as follows (TT manual)

 

Engine stalling when pulling up to a stop... car idles fine but if you blip the throttle the engine almost dies (and sometimes it does)....

 

Plus the fuse in the engine fuse box keeps blowing - it's the one marked "engine cont". The word "light is illuminated on the dash and the battery light has a faint glow!

 

Any ideas - thanks as always guys...

This is a guess mate but you could have a boost leak or a faulty MAF (Air Flow Sensor). This is a guess tho!

also check all the connections/plugs, earth points,bolts basically anything that may come loose within the fuse box area, it seems this can cause fuse to blow and affect the car's running.

when you put your foot down, does the revs drop to zero and nearly cut out?

 

happened on mine, just had to change the little temp sensor on the front of the engine, i'll try and find a pic of what i mean.

hope that helps

Would guess temp sender too, I had similar symptoms and it was the temp sender at fault!
