Yeah exactly what it seems to be doing!! When it warms up the car cuts out after 10mins, so something's failing when it gets warm....

Hmmm hope you can solve your problem to mate
my other half first changed the crank sensor and then it wouldnt start so she had to go into a garage to get another one fitted i have been told they are very tempremental , and no deffinatley no we dont want any more dying, to be honest ime lucky to have a vw specialist 2 minutes from my house which in times of need is a great help
hope you bith get them sorted soon guys

Update!!! Cars in bits at garage lol
your symptoms are electrical, heat causing breakdown. usually coil pack, relay, crank sensor, ignition lead from coil to distributor & hall sensor in dist.
relay been replaced?
if the garage thinks it's the cylinder head, pick up all your bits & push the car as far as possible from their little fingers.
The electricals are fine they've checked um :/, it's had new coilpack, had new crank shaft sensor, so there changing the actual distributer.... & I know the garage used um plenty of times there good
But the pressure on the head is perfect but that's when it's cold, can't check it when it's warm because it won't fire up...
Cause maybe when it warms up the compression goes n leaves a gap which makes the engine cut out,?
nope.
lost any water?
spark plugs wet with water?
coolant tank pressurised?
probably more but still say electrical.

Opposite way round bud in my experience, this is nothing like a head problem, it's either spark or fuel and more than likely a bad relay somewhere. I've seen loads of bad heads over the years and never had anything like these symptoms, sounds totally bollox if you ask me. I'm a bit concerned about this garage you're using, it's begining to sound like they don't know what they're doing.
Well I'm constantly filling the water up like every 2 week lol :/
I've used this garage before tonnes of times & never a problem.....
did you mention this to the garage at the start?
..or in this thread at start of problems.
I know it's not :/ I know the tube coming from front of the engine one of the bolts has dried up crusty water as it seems like that's where waters been escaping :S
