Getting some real weird issues with my 03 passat pd tdi
1 - starting and driving away, (always in 1st or 2nd) on occasion it just dies, absolutely nothing, no power, completely flat, unless you push the clutch in and give it a blip/rev. Then its fine, doesnt miss a beat.
2 - starting and driving away, on occasion (so far always in 2nd) theres a real bad grinding/crunching mechanical noise and car will basically lose power, thud to a halt and stall. Again if you push the clutch in before it stalls it will clear.
The faults are seperate but starting to happen more often.
Only work carried out recently is replacing the steering rack. I have a simple obd code reader but only code showing is 0778 steering angle sensor fault.
Any help much appreciated.
