PD 150 problem# UPDATE#

As above it sounds like the 109 relay is on the way out. When the car has been running for a while the contacts in the relay get hot and it causes the soldered points to fail. I replaced mine but I got a genuine vw one from the dealers. It cost £15 I think.

There is loads of duplicate ones on eBay which are sh!te and for the extra tenner I would get oem.

Put in relay (109) at the weekend drove fine all weekend and monday then today its gone from cut out once to six times in one day put it back on the vagcom and it came back with ABS speed sensor n/s/f but i wouldnt think that would do it .

The ABS fault will be something seperate. I can only think it might be a fuel pump issue as previously mentioned. The pump isn't connected to the vagcom so it wont show up.

I think the fuel pump relay is 409. You could try changing that first and see how you get on.

It could also be a faulty ignition switch.

Hi guys back again i sent the car to a mechanic he checked everything on the car and he came back say the fuel pump in the tank is weak so more money lol how much are the pump do anyone no ? and are they easy to fit thanks

[Luke1981]

Glad you now know what it is. A new fuel pump for my pd150 according to euro car parts is 80 quid. I have never changed one but I imagine there is thread out there which will tell you how its done.
