how hot did it get jase?

doubt head gasket more like cooling system - lack of pressure, weeping radiator or split in hose. or as u said earlier pump and or thermo not opening but dans idea with the raditor cap sounded reasonable did u find one?

Hard to do that when im at work all the time :D Got tomorrow of so when im not sleeping i'll hunt around for one.

if you have receipts take it back to whoever serviced it

easy

Agreed!!! My theory with it is if your car has a new problem after it's been to the mechanics, take it back cos they may have stuffed something. Stuff can coincidentally break though in fairness.

It actually sounds like you're having a similar but worse problem to what Isola's having. A fkd fuel pump will give you a bunch of surging under load and the car will literally run as you're describing it. Was it just a general service that was done? I doubt it'd be a headgasket though. The symptoms are pretty obvious for it (smoke out the back, overheating, milky residue). As noobish as this sounds, it could be that they haven't connected a coilpack properly... I could be totally wrong though... Sucks either way mang :D

If you're still on:

"The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation" – Mein Kampf page 403

Thats It! Thanks mang, you're a champion

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
