this was happenin in my 1.8t sorry cant help you as i never found out what the problem was the engine seized  :cry:but not from that pickup pipe was blocked

[new to vw]

after you have run the car and stopped it are you getting fuel to the cylinders?
check that you are getting spark and fuel at the engine...

check for spark.. check for fuel pump priming..

sounds like crankshaft sensor problems, get it scanned

[navmk4gti]

might sound long shot but could it also be blocked up fuel filter.. only about £5 to get 

[tech1889]

that would affect it from first start up as well not just after its fully warmed up..

+1 or the fuel pump relay

So where would i find the crankshaft sensor ? Would it be by  the bottom pully ? cause i have a oil leak of which i need to get sorted ! Could this be cause by oil on my sensor?
Cause i will be getting the oil leak sorted like asap!
