Hi all,
Hoping someone has faced this issue before or knows about it.
Cant seem to find any info on this online
Basically since we had the hot weather on the weekend the galaxy has been driving after 30 seconds to 30 minutes and suddenly the engine will turn off. The rev counter drop to 0, screen on dash (MPG etc) turns off however speedo still at speed though.
Its appears an electrical stop rather than mechanical. its like you have turn the engine off via the key whist still driving.
Once this has happened the imob led is solid red and the car refuse to turn over.
To get it working again i have to take the key out and try restarting it a few times until i finally starts up again.
Unfortuntley on some occasions this can happen 4-6 times in a row. Which is becoming vary dangerous as to many morons take no notice of a car stopping with hazard lights flashing away.
However once its thrown its toys out of the pram the car drives flawlessly as it nothings happened. (Typical husband after and argument with the wife senero)
I have checked all the fuses both level 1 and under the bonnet and no issues there
I have checked that all the relays are correctly seated on both level 2 and 3, However I cant test some of the function on relays such as ECU, Imobo etc.
Performed a full VCDS scan and doesn't bring anything up.
Had AA out this afternoon as it got so bad the car was undrivable only to be told they couldnt pick any codes up and to drive the car home as at that point it was behaving itself again.
I have replace every fuse on level 1 just to be safe (had stacks of know working fuse lying around).
Does anyone know what this could be?
Im due to go to an interview tomorrow for a extremely important job, however its quite a journey and don't risk getting on the motorway and sitting in M25 traffic just for me to be stranded in one of the live lanes.
All help will be extremely appreciated.
