ThermalP4 1 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi guys.Got this annoying problem with the VR.Once the car has reached operating temp and your in traffic say or just on the drive at idle, without no warning the car just cuts out. You can start it straight away, leave for a few mins then it almost cuts out then recovers, but then cuts out again.I changed the crank sensor earlier which I hoped would fix the issue but when starting from cold and leaving it once it reaches 90c the revs start to hover up/down and then it cuts out.Does anyone have any ideas on this?

ThermalP4 1 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Unplugged the MAF and ran it just to see if it made a difference but it still cut out after time.Noticed in VAGCOM that the coolant temp was reading 70c at one point but the needle on the dash was on 90c. When VAGCOM showed 90c the needle on the dash was at 90c. Not sure whether that is something to go on. Link to post Share on other sites

ThermalP4 1 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Changed the temp sensor but same thing.Looks like i didnt test the MAF properly, Disconnected it and it ran for 25 mins without cutting out. Re-connected it and it cut out after 5 mins.New MAF time. Link to post Share on other sites
