Ok. This is what has happened twice now since having the cc set on the highway.

First, the ac blower motor cuts WAY down, to barely trickling out the vents. I think the ac actually disengages too and just blows warm air.

Second, a few mins later the abs light illuminates.

Third, a few mins later the airbag light illuminates.

Fourth, the tach and speedo freezes at the speed they were travelling at.

Fifth, a few mins later the brake light starts blinking and chiming in the dash.

Sixth, a few seconds later the car starts losing power; it bucks in lower rpm's in the lower gears.

Seventh, IF I FLOOR THE CAR PAST 3k RPMS EVERYTHING IS FIXED.

WTF??

1999.5 5spd tdi, lots of mods... fmic, rc, 170k miles on car but 10k miles on FULLY rebuilt motor/clutch, stock turbo/sticks.

Any clues?

Battery and belt/pulleys, grounds etc seem ok. Where is this ground under the battery tray? I'll try that one.

Is there a way to diagnose the relay 109? What does relay 109 do?

I'll try running a voltmeter across the battery. Thanks man:thumbup:

Well I found out that i can just push the clutch in and rev it to 3k+ to get everything working again. As soon as I see the abs light come on I just rev it to 3k+ and everything works fine. It's really irritating though :irk:

Nope no screeching/squeeling at all. The belt looks great, and so do the pulleys. As soon as I rev it up though, it's good the rest of that trip. Its weird.
