Hi guys

Been having an intermittent problem with my 98 Sharan in that it judders occassionally under load and sometimes when cruising in 5th. Have used vag com and its giving me the error code 00542 which is the needle lift sensor. Any ideas with this? I'm assuming its not a DIY fix so any clues as to cost of replacement?

Thanks for your time.

You can measure the resistance of the Injector, there are 3 wires but one is a `screen` for interference. Should be around 100 - 110 Ohms to be serviceable. Not sure of costs but easy enough to replace. If you do, get the copper washer for the seat of the Injector.
