I had a bad problem with my mk7 few weeks back, not quite the same as the above but a problem none the less,
Was driving home on the motorway no prob doing about 120/130 kmh radio on music playing and stuff,..i pulled
The headlight stalk and the car just had a fit !! ABS came on, radio died , speedometer and revmeter died ..engine went into limp mode !! :/ the car slowed down to about 60k them everything just came back on without a problem!! :/...I rang my dealer and brought the car straight up!! The end result was "softwAre update and water pump change" ? Was told that if it happened again to go back to him...hasn't happened since , but a few hours ago I was stopped talking to a friend and the light and radio screen backlight started flickering ....I drove home and locked the car but the hazards didn't flash? I went to open the car and nothing happened ? ....tried for a while and failed so openened it with the key , tried to turn the car back on and NOTHING ! No power no nothing ...after a few minutes of trying it eventually came back on but the trip computer and radio had reset? Anybody know what happened there? Have a focus coming in January and the fiesta is getting traded in but still, the car shouldn't be acting like that?
Any info would be greatfull thanks
