after doin head gasket water pump and cambelt on my 2ltr fsi i found a few problems when the car was warm it was randomly cutting out like some one had turned ignition off and also there is a strange noise sounds like the power steering pump becuase when you turn the wheels it gets louder? :S any ideas any one? cheers

how much PAS fluid is in the tank?

as it might need topping up

the cutting out when warm could be timing related as mine use to do a similar thing, sorted my timing and it now behaves alot better

i topped the PAS up to the right level

well the timing would make the car run rough woudlnt it? and it starts fine agen strait after it cuts out? if that helps?

Cheers

mine was similar, timing was out, it use to start fine then warm up and each time i'd want to stop at a JCT it would want to cut out use to be after a long run or a blast when it was hot

would start again fine, only ran rough when it was hot tho

i also replaced my Temp sensor on top of my thermo stat anf that seem'd to help as well

cheers peeps i found the problem it was the thermostat i felt the radiator and one side was cold and other was warm so i had a good guess and replaced it and hey it all works fine now
