A colleague poses a question about her P-reg. VW Golf GTi 8-valve. It cold-starts normally, but after running for 3-5 minutes, the engine cuts out, and she then has to wait 3-6 minutes before it will restart.
Her VAG garage replaced the ECU and speed sensor, but the fault persists.
Has anyone any ideas?

My mother in law's identical Golf won't re start after short journeys without a 10 minute wait. i suspect fuel injection "flooding". Maybe this and Steve's problem are connected. The wait before re starting sounds similar. Does anyone have any idea how to cure this? Would "hotter" plugs help. She can't really help making short journeys so "drive further" would not be a helpful answer. Is there anything else one can do?
