[urq] sudden stumbling

[Johan H]

Hi ,

I really need some professional advice from you guys before I get my 
precious -88 MB to service.

I had not driven the car for about 1,5 weeks. When I fired it up it started 
immediately and ran fine, I drove off and let it warm up... when I turned to 
the motorway, I gave full boost for a while and I instantly noticed some 
hesitation, and at this point I noticed that the fuel reading was empty, and 
the fuel range was 0, despite I had some gas in it when I left it.

I drove carefully to the next fuel station and filled her up, but the 
hesitation did not go away.

Question: could the low fuel level have broken the engine? What could have 
been broken?

I should also mention that the car stumbled despite I drove slowly. But 
later when I started the car from cold, it ran fine on low revs, but 
directly as the boost level rised it started stumbling.
