hi everyone well finally my vag com arrived and thrown up fault codes 00513 engine speed sensor and 00525 oxygen sensor....vw wanted £190 for ess alone but local parts place will do it for 53.11 bargain....now is this the reason for it keep cutting out do u think? jut going to get ess for now is it esay to do or a b!tch and what sort of price am i looking at or if anyone in chichester area wants some beer tokens let me know

engine speed sensor/ crank sensor was what caused mine to cut out, takes about an hour to change, have to remove front engine mount so make sure weight of engine is supported on a jack.
The other is the sensor on the down dipe/cat + is often siezed due to large temp changes/environment but shouldnt be too hard.
As for crank sensor other ppl have said the cheap ones are crap + fail in less than a year but the og is $$$, i would try + get some heat resistant wrap for the cable as that is the cause of failure.

get a full vag one..should last longer.

Think you can get it for a little less then 190, but not much. just need to go to someone who deals with vag parts and see what deal you can make
