Hi all,

I have a mark 3 (1994) golf 1.8i. Every 10-20 miles the engine will "cut out" and i will be left without drive or power steering (quite bad if I'm on a dual carriageway). This initially happened when pulling away from junctions or roundabouts, but now is happening when making steady progress at any speed. The engine then doesn't start and the oil light flashes. If I leave it about 5-10 mins the engine starts and I can carry on as if nothing happened (except for some slight juddering as i pull away in 1st).

The AA don't know whats wrong and I was wondering if anybody else has had similar problems.

Thanks
