Help, engine keeps dying (update)
« on: January 07, 2015, 05:31:16 am »
I've done a search but no joy, my car starts and runs fine but whenever i drive it for anything over half a mile and then come to a stop the engine just stops and won't tickover and i have to keep re-starting it. Any ideas?

I don't believe the mk5 Golf has an idle control valve since it has an electronic throttle body.. I'm sure they're only used on cars with cable-operated throttles?  :confused:

Regarding your car cutting out, it could be related to fuel starvation, then again it could be almost anything. You really need to get your car hooked up to a diagnostic system (Vagcom/VCDS for example) and see what fault codes it chucks out  :happy2:
