never had the issue on mine. Anyone else had this?

In my experience of mk3's (Ive owned 3 and have 3 mates that have owned them) Ive never known a dodgy ECU (touch wood) but the symptoms described do sound like its a possibility, but it could be any number of things and we are never gonna diagnose it over the internet.

Yup with my old 16v, sorted when i replaced my ecu and fuel pump relay, can't say which one was faulty though!

[snifferdog]

Sorry, mis-read - I had to give my mate a ECU relay just last Friday - its a common issue  :embarassed:

[rubjonny]

even if its not the ecu relay, chuck old one in the glovebox as a spare for when your current one packs in. i have a spare ecu and fuel relay in mine for this reason

you'll be wasting 12 quid. I bet 100 quid it aint the relay. 

On second thoughts I'll take that bet!

[dumbnut]

i know this sounds stupid which ones are they (what numbers they got on them)

[rubjonny]

30 - ecu
67, 80 or 167 - fuel

ecu relay is cheap from vw, 10ish iirc

As above. Oh and please dont except any bribes you might be offered in your pm box from Len.
