Scirocco Register

I got the car in February and Thursday was the third time that I have been driving and the car dies. I have no warning it just stops. I feel bad because I love the car and I enjoy driving it but I feel limited because I feel I can't go on motorways etc in case it happens. However when it stops the electrics work e.g. I can put the hazards on etc. Firstly I had a new battery put in and the alternator was showing up as fine. The second time it happened I took the alternator out and sent it to a specialist who said there was no fault so I then refitted it and took the car over to the place where he cleaned and repaired the A feed coming from alternator to starter motor and cleaned the starter motor post. He re soldered original earths to body and ran in a new earth strap. He did say that a further investigation into the PCB may be required. So this week that is what is gonna be checked.

I don't know what else it could be!! I do drive short distances from work etc so maybe that has something to do with it.

Any ideas?

When it dies does it start up again straight away?
Could be the ignition switch? Or the plug that pushes on to it? Or a relay

Check your fuel pump relay.

After a few years some of the inside contacts get a bit dodgy and will fail.

cheers guy!! Well it will start and then die after awhile. Today it started first time and then later it wouldn't start at all

Your car is a GT correct? Then it will not have a fuel pump relay as your fuel pump is mechanical. I would be looking at the ignition switch, get the cowling off and have a good look and clean up.

Cool!! Cheers will have a look
