Hi there ,
Having a few problems with my passat .
Starts nae bother when cold but it struggles when warm .
Also sounds like the fuel pump is priming itself when you switch engine off .
Its a tdi 130 remapped to 176 .
Any suggestions ?
Regards Kieran

Kieran , general search on the net concludes that the coolant temperature sensor has failed , a genuine replacement can be had for less than £20 don't buy a pattern part or else you'll have to change it again , hope this helps , Calum .

Thanks Calum ,
No such changed the coolant sensor as suggested and its still happening .
Did read somewhere that it might be the fuel pump relay ???

A code read would help.
