Sound like it's over fuelling. On the front of the head there is a plastic water outlet with two sensors. The one you need to swap is the blue one.

does your fuel pump prime for 3 seconds when you put the ignition on? it should. If it continues to run then the ecu or ignition moduel that sits ontop of the ecu is dodge.

happend to me 4 times now.

Have a few spare ignition moduels. if your local you can try it out

Blue Coolant Temp Sensor mate. it controls the fuelling and the car will run like a bag of sh!te when the autochoke shuts off. When they fail the car will overfuel to the point it cuts out.

PM me, I have a new sensor you can have for £5 (genuine VW one, not crappy pattern parts)
