yoou see that button on your keyboard between the , and the /

Please use it and break your problem into English then the likes of Tom and myself will be able to understand you!

I fathomed as much as your engine isn't running too well, do you have an lights come on the dash, such as a red one that looks like a petrol nozzle?

Next time it happens lift your foot of the throttle just a bit (to 75-80% of full) and see what happens.

There are a few options, the result of the test should narrow it down a bit.

Is there any particular gear it does it in? When it happens have you just hit the rev limiter in the previous gear? Could always be you are just being a tad over enthusiastic and the rev limiter is cutting in.

this usually happens in second gear,but i only put foot to the floor when it happens

OK, so it happens THEN you boot it?

Next time lift off completely and then boot it. My 1.6 does this about once every 4-5 months, usually in 3rd. I have to shut the throttle completely and it gets better.

Throttle Body

I suffered almost the opposite of yours Tom whereby my HGT sometimes "forgot" I had taken my foot off the acc and left me spinning at 5,000+ rpm! I had the throttle body changed and problem was cured.

Your 1.6 isn't fly by wire though is it (Worked on every other engine except 1.6!)?

Re: Throttle Body

Nope, lowly Mk1 with a bit of string between the pedal and the engine.
