Will do. I really hope it's something like the battery! thanks for that

I don't know if anyone can help - but today my engine lost complete power. i was changing up from 2nd to 3rd gear and the engine totally cut out. No warning just complete lack of power. i immediately thought it might have been the cambelt but on close inspection luckily i can cross that off my list! i then re-started and seemed fine for about 1/2 mile and then exactly the same thing happened. the battery light and oil lights came on and then a total loss of power. i've had my golf for 2.5 years - ever since my poor corrado was written off, and have never experienced any problems before today. one friend has suggested it may be the fuel relay - has anyone else got any further suggestions or experienced anything similar. I've had a look round the internet and one suggestion is that the throttle body may need cleaning out. i'll be calling the AA tomorrow to recover my car and hope that i can quickly fix it - any help will be much appreciated.

I'm new to the forum - so Hello!!! i'm the proud new FEMALE owner of a 1.8 16v C. It's totally standard as you can see from the pic. I'm learning everyday about my beloved C! I'd like to drop it 40mm but been told not to as there wont be any standard ones left in 10 yrs. What do you think? For or Against.
