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.

Yeah I sh*t a brick when I thought it was the fuel pump! (£400)

Was your car sorted after this then mate?

Pretty much. Mine got really really bad though and wouldn't find for more than a few seconds. As soon as he swapped the sensor it ran smooth as but I'm convinced it's left a flat spot. Probably just me though that bit.

If you try searching you'll probably find my thread about it which listed the part replaced. I would find it my self but on the phone and its a real pain to cut and paste etc.

I had a similar problem: clicky

Mine all happened in one day - no problems at all and then suddenly it cut out. I had to keep the revs high and not allow the engine to idle or it would cut out.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I also have had to change my low fuel pressure sensor on the pump. Similar issues to above. Wasn't to exspensive. Of the top of my head sensor G428. Hope you get it all sorted soon.

On a side note the sports cat is now all on and sorted all be it after a bit more welding usual milltek problems. BDMAlex did a nice job with his welding skills. Thanks for the deal  :smiley:
