sometimes the car just stops and has a sleepy!!  then you go to try to start it again and it will not start.  the glow plug light will not light up at all.  normally after a while it will suddenly go back to normal and start up!  ?? strange... annnoying!   any ideas??

 i heard it could be a maf sensor?

Hello mate.
I've not a clue whats going on there. 
First thing you need to do tho is get it vag-com'd or a code reader and see what code(s) it shows.
Whereabouts are you?

Good luck

may sound silly but think i had the same problem a while back. I had a water leak coming through my wiper arms, through the wiper motor
and through the junction box behind the steering rack and right onto my accelerator pedal. I got hacked off when i broke down on the m42 having to call the mrs to tow me off. cost me a whole £100 for a new accelerator pedal, feels worth it when i put my foot down now, i thonk its the pedal, water or not
