Title: horney blonde babe needs help!!!random cutting out,
Post by: RIPP3Y on 29 June 2011, 14:03

hi, my 2l gti keeps dying on me on a daily basis.
 there is no warning when this happens, but you no its gonna happen on every trip. i fitted a K&N cone filter a few months ago but cant see how that would cause this issue, ive since put the original airbox back on.   I also fixed a hissing noise comming from the servo which i thought would cure the problem but no such luck, I dont think its an air problem so could only be fuel or electric?,  When the car cuts out, the ignition lights stay on, it takes a few minuits befor the car will fire up again. It sometimes cuts out but then jumps back to life just as i reach for the hazard switch.
  What do you suggest??

I had exactly the same. If it starts up again once the coil has cooled down then I'd say coil.

i fitted a new crank sensor,  :sad:, no joy even though it was in a reeeeeaaalllllll bad state.  thought i had it nailed for a mo, damn.

 so im gonna try the relay, but i just got off the phone to GSF and they cant say for sure if its relay 30 or three that im looking for,  they did say that a common rely they sell is a "ECM",  can any1 say if its the 1 i need. 
  Mucho Grassiass. :cool:

The ECU & fuel pump relays are the two most common ones to fail.
