Title: GTi 8v cutting out @ 94 degrees
Post by: markswan on 18 April 2012, 15:03

Hello, I have searched and searched however I'm not getting any closer to an answer..

Basically my 8v cuts out bob on 94 degrees, if you let it cool you can restart it,

its just had a new crank case sensor, coil pack leads and plugs,

I'm at wits end over it.

If you disconnect the oil temp sensor it runs but still cuts off at about the same temp, so it cant be the ecu thats cutting it off

help please
