Hi every one hopefully im going to solve a few problems here. I Had a problem with my car that it kept cutting out and i wouldnt be able to get it started again for about half an hour, i tried every thing i could think of but now it looks like its the going to be the crank shaft positioning sensor acording to VW. If it turns out to be somethin different i will let you all no.
