I have a 2004 VW Golf 5 1.9 TDI.
The car starts without any problems, but when it rains and I’m driving, it begins to jerk and stalls. I wait 5 or 10 minutes, and it starts again. It drives with some jerking for a few minutes and then runs fine.


Any help?
Thank you.

Usually a failing crank speed sensor and often they leave no code. When it acts up, does the rev counter reading bounce around?

Thank you for your reply.
Would this crank speed sensor be affected by the rain?

It can do it it is heavy enough or the wiring is breaking down
