Hi all
I was wondering if anyone can help me
A few weeks ago my car gave up the go (V-reg 1.4l petrol), driving along and the engine just stalled out under acceleration, it began to behave itself again but only for a few days where it completely gave up firing up (starter turns over but wont fire up), i took it into the local garage where they firstly tested the throttle body, replaced the distributor, leads, plugs, MAP sensor and ECU, which appeared to do the trick as it managed to pass its MOT and get home fine (only 2 miles down the road), went to take it out again that evening to get 200 yards down the road and everything just gave up stalled out and wouldn't go again. All the plugs are firing fine seems to be no problem air flow wise, VAG COM says all ok no fault codes.
Can't think of it being any of the sensors as everyone has been replaced in the last 2000 miles.
Bit of a dead end with this one the only thing that i can really think of thats left is possibly the Fuel pump relay, but the pump (from what i can hear) seems fine and operational (or maybe one of the other relays?)
If anyone can offer any ideas or help in the slightest please give it a post as i am fresh out of ideas.
Hope all have had a good christmas
