I would suggest temporarily installing a volt meter, so you can keep an eye on the voltage as you drive.

Good advice from Harry there.
There's a voltmeter built into your dash board!!! OBD dash dignsotics TEST NO 9 http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...38&postcount=1 Sounds like a juicy fault I would like to get my hands on. Good old fashioned Volts and Ameters tracing wires and pins..............just because a Garage says there were no faults displayed on his screen doesn't mean all is well. Even T4 won't detect a lot of wiring faults.

I Jim.
As it may not be down to the plenums being flooded I would start another thread with regards to your fault, and perhaps the one of the mods could mover the posts you have received over to it, then we can track how your car is performing and what you have or have not checked through the great advice being given by the members, just a suggestion cheers Arctic.

No one is suggesting your spending more money, but rather that you do some basic diagnostics on the work you have had done.

check regular
May I suggest with all the bad weather high winds and driving rain, also with the bad frosty weather we are about to be going into over the next few months that we all check our plenums regular.
Once week will not take up to much time if you follow the spyhole mod, I always add the inspection to my weekly checking of all fluids and tyres for wear and pressure. Also lets stay safe out there over the festive season again bad weather, fallen trees and the like and the problem of drunk drivers. cheers Arctic Spyhole Mod Continued At Post 21 Click the Link http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...1&postcount=21
