    it broke down, on both times they thought it would be a fuel problem such as a fuel lifting pump or the like. The car has been to a vw dealer, they found nothing as its intermittant. It then went to a non dealer who replaced a fuel pump priming circuit, as this was one error code brought back from the AA

    , blast it up and down motorways and then throw them away, the only concern is diesel biased BIK and fuel costs (if you have to pay them.) again diesels win that argument.
