Hi 1985 Westphalia here. Mine did that for six months or more. Paid up and down the yin yang for their experimental opinions. Finally got it fixed after doing th ECU and ten other things. I've got so many receipts now I can't remember which one seemed to fix it. I'll try and look it up over next few days.
