[marky GTI]

ok mate hope you find the problem...

how much did that cost then ill have to buy one for the car

The engine speed sensor was £45 from GSF car parts. However I wouldnt recommend u just go out and buy the sensor for the sake of it.

As i said before buy a diagnostics lead so you can try and find out whats wrong with it, all u need is a laptop with a usb port. This is what i bought:

Behind the oil filter at the front of the engine nearer to the gearbox side. Its a right pig to get to as u need to remove the front engine mount and starter motor bolts.

Have you determind that its the problem then?
