Good Luck, Hope it does help you, its nasty being in that situation. Let me know.

Did it help? Or is yours a different problem?

LOL, yeah you're not kidding. Mine ran but just refused to start after it was warm, let me know if you have any luck in sorting it, I only got mine working again last night, had a lot of the spare parts anyway cause i had bought a VR6 lump for a mk2 conversion, wasnt too expensive thank goodness.I was watching your post for some help, hoping someone else had a clue.

Hi, I had the exact same problem when I bought my golf. Got it cheap, guy had run it REALLY hot when matrix blew so I had to replace engine, complete rebuild anyway. Got it all started, ran lovely and smooth, not a problem. Took it for a test drive, GUTLESS doesnt discribe it!!! Got back quite annoyed cause of all the work, turned it off and had a look under the bonnet, nothing seemed out of place, tried starting it, it just turned over and over and over. Tried a few things, crank sensor, new brain, temp sensors, no difference, took it to Vdub had a chat with a mechanic there and he threw it on the machine, G28 (crankshaft sensor) and camshaft sensor both came up, replace crank sensor again, no difference, replaced camshaft sensor and sorted the problem, hope this helps you.
