I've got a similar prob on my golf but it doesnt die just runs very badly on roundabout and tight corners but apart from that it flies! Its in the garage at the mo and i pick it up later today so I'll let you know what it was/is

The problem with mine is the ABS control unit -thats the last thing I thought it would be! It has a kind of traction control built in and cuts the power to the engine for no reason so I need to replace it and it'll be fine. Best off getting it on the diagnostics to try and pin point what the problem is - I thought my prob was gonna be engine related!

yeah I would say it does really, it hesitates when I pull away and I get a pop sometimes from the exhaust and if I rev the car when its cold it runs like crap and I have to let it idle for a bit to sort itself out & on motorways the power just dies and it wont let me rev the engine - sounds like the exhaust is blocked. My ABS light is on now aswell, the last owner tried to hide it and push the LED down on the board so it didnt shine through the plastic! Best bet is to get it on the diagnostics though so you know for sure
