Drive along and engine just seems to cut, nothing from throttle, drop down a gear power restored and the car literally carries on as though nothing has happened.  This has occured on just a few occasions so now dread next time it might die altogether.  I think it happened in 5th and took off again when dropping to 4th gear.  The weird thing is the car then drives as though nothing has happened.  Low mileage 65k only doing about !k a year now.  Old battery died replacement battery fitted yesterday.   Fabia VRS

Has the car sat by any chance? The last few fabs I've bought (1.4 16v, 1.4 mpi) which had sat for about 2-4 months, kept stalling when changing gears and throwing fuel mixture too rich error codes. After running it for about 2 months on a 100 mile commute it started running rock solid.
