Hi All,

I am not in the A4 but in the Passat 1.8t AEB 1998. We were cruising along nicely at 70. I switched the air con off and car lost power. Electrical systems all seem to power up when I turn the key, the engine turns over, kind of catches but dies immediately.

I am waiting for the rescue services but wondered if you all had any ideas?
 
yes indeed and best of all not stuck on the M4 on the hottest day of the year 240 mile from home.
