Check the wiring to sensor

Need to replace with genuine VW crank sensor.Try fuel pump relay 167 and ecu relay 30,cus they can also cause cut outs.I know cus i've been there.

col-mk3,i take it you deleted the old fault codes with the VagCom before you re-scanned?.

as said above, replacing the crank sensor dosen't always work as the wiring harness dry's out/splits and then arc's. this gives the same faults as a dicky crank sensor

replace them wires first and see if it fixes it

best call vw and be sitting down...
Most people make there own (it's only a few wires into a connector although they do need to be heat shrinked) or contact your local auto electrician as they should knock one up for only a few ££ (well cheaper than vw)
