Once or twice my Audi A3 has been sluggish under acceleration and idled eractically and on one occassion actually just lost power and stopped but engine restarted right away. Then the next day it seem to be running perfectly fine again and has done so since.

The breather hose was perished and this has now been replaced - could that have been the problem and have rectified the issue happening again?

(its 2001 model but only 95k on clock)

Hi, welcome to TSN!

Which engine version A3?

A perished breather hose is never good for an engine. That might have been part of the issue. Have you have the belts changed? And was the issue only when giving it some beans?

The other thing it could have been is/was the cam position sensor. But wait to see if anything happens again. Or ask your friendly VAG indy when you get the belts changed (if needed) or a service.
