Car keeps cutting out :(

[keano]

Hi Dave,

Thanks for contacting your friend for me.

The car usually cuts out when coming to a stop. But when cold this morning, it cut out about 1,500 revs.

It's pointing towards fuel pressure I guess, but it's very coincidental that it happened after my coilovers been fitted 

[PDT]

give it a good look over around the areas where they would have been working when fitting the coilovers, personally cant think of anything that would connect the 2 things.

does it smoothly cut out as in the revs slowly drop and cuts out or does it stutter and choke a bit?

Lovely and smooth haha. It jerks abit when you try and catch it before it cuts out if you get me? But it's usually very smooth.

Since the bad day she had Friday I left her on the drive over the weekend.

Went out in it tonight to see if things had changed. I had one loud missfire/pop (like a skyline gtr lol)  and everything seems fine now.

Infact, it's the best it's ever driven. I went through a few heat cycles and turned it on and off a few times and everything seems okay.... Hmmm

Update:

Vagcom showed intermittent errors with high and low fuel pressures.  

Following VCDS's recommendations and that of VagCo, we've ordered a new 'low pressure fuel sensor' for the fuel pump.

This should sort the problems out...

Mine used to do this it was the dv is your a forge one by any chance as they stick and it causes the car to randomly stall when stopping intermitently.

It's a new revision D mate.

Just make sure the sensor is clipped on the dv correctly failing that ive no idea.

Keano. If you want to borrow my VCDS cable for logging etc. just let me know. I'll send it up to you and you can drop it off at my parents. :-)

That is EXACTLY what happened to mine. VW told me that it was the cam follower and the HPFP however the local specialist said it was the low fuel pressure sensor mounted near the front of the engine. That was a £50 part plus fitting. I did check the came follower my self too.
