In need of a little bit of HELP?
My girlfriends Mk3 Golf Preg 1.9 CL Tdi has started cutting out for some reason, does anyone know why this could be happening.
The car is fine when you start it up but after the car has been running for a few mintues it just cuts out. It tends to cut when the temp gauge gets to its normal temp for the car.
I took the car out the other day and it happened to me, after about 5/10minutes I slowing down at some lights and it just cut out and when I tried to restart it was dead, it did fire at all and it sounded like it was flooded or the battery was flat. All the lights came on apart from the coil light on the dash. I left the car for 2mintues or so and then tried it again and it fired up no problem.
I was told to have a look at the temperature gauge, so I took that out and cleaned it and check every plug to see if the was any dirty connection, but still the car cuts out.
Has anyone got any idea what could be the problem?
I put in Google my problem and came out with a thread from this site from a few years ago which he had a simliar problem and he replaced the relay 109. Could this be the problem?
