I leave you all for a day and it all kicks off 

As far as all the questions go, the car works 100percent of the time WHEN COLD. As doon as it warms up it dies and as long as its warm it wont start again. So this tell me EVERYTHING works including fuel pump etc. But whatevers killing it must surely be something to do with temperature??

And as for why i bought a new dizzy, is because i needed a new hall sensor as someone suggested it might be this and i too had high hopes for it. Im replacing the crank case position sensor i think next. And by the way all these sensors add up so ive tried to thinj logically before buying 100s of new relays and sensors for no reason

Please change the crank sensor. That's where your problem is. I repeat change the crank sensor.

Does it have spark when its cranking warm?

[xionsolaris]

Its not that bad with thinking logicly on these golfs its easier than fixing new cars i hope the crank sensor if its easy to get to the sensor let the car warm up and take off the sensor and spray something like electrical contact cleaner or brake cleaner on the actual sensor it will cool it down quickly plug it in and fire it up if it works u know your prob only do this if the crank sensor is accesible

As soon as he puts it back in the block will heat it back up lol :-)

if its easy to get to and can be quick it can show results cam sensors can be done that way but there on the cam cover and easy to get to

Like GOLF-MK3=GTI has said replace Crank Sensor.They are not easy to get to as they are positioned on the front of the engine block below and behind the the front engine mount.That has the be removed to gain access to the Crank Sensor and they are a b!tch to do.
Also,when it cuts out do you see the Oil Light on the dash FLASH,if so defo Crank Sensor.These sensors are prone to fail at some time due to the wires into the sensor becoming brittle and breaking.

Right, ive got crank sensor off, came on here to see what everyones suggesting and all fingers are pointing toward the crank sensor... Good stuff. the cars on ramps so i can get under it (which was harder than getting the sensor off...its lowered a fair bit )

[dixie180]

Did you have a look at the wires to see if they were brittle/broken.I know its a right game getting the sensor off,been there.
