99 1.9tdi engine cuts off when warm - Damzelindistress
Hi All

whilst driving my golf the engine cuts off, usually when its warm. After a minute or so itl start again. Iv taken it to a few agarages who cant seem to diagnose the problem, wev had the obvious things changed i.e. fuel filter, coolant sensor etc but still got the same problem.

has anybody else had this problem, any advice would be appreciated.

ok thnx. Taking it to the garage again later so will mention the cam sensor.
(I just had a quick read of what a cam sensor is/does) and it sounds like it could possibly be it, fingers and everything else crossed.

Hello.

Did you ever sort this one out ? My Brother's 1.9 TDI Golf has just started doing this, but when he restarts the engine its fine again.

He has little faith in the VW Garage, who can't find anything amiss.

If you look up into where the relays and the fuses are in your car, Look for a relay labelled up as 109, if it is black then you need to replace it with an upgraded grey one from VW, the relay is mounted on a PCB, after a long time the soldered joint cracks, if you can solder, re-flow the joint and keep the relay as a spare.
Hope this helps.
