Engine Cuts Out Dead And Doesn't Start

[gsxrgrowler]

Evening

 

Having a niggle with my Galaxy

 

Starts up fine but very intermittantly the engine will lose power and die.

 

Try to restart and nothing, leave switched off for a few minutes and will start.

 

Then for no reason cut out again. Im quite concerned especially on busy roads.

 

However went out this Sunday just gone and drove 130 miles to and from home and didn't cut out once.

 

But today a short journey and the problem re-occured.

 

Am i thinking a relay(s)???????????????

 

Any advice / help would be appreicated

 

Thanks

Probably worth getting it plugged in and checked with vagcom or getting a diagnostic done. I had a similar fault and it was the camshaft position sensor causing it.

Try relay 109, located in the 3rd level of the fusebox.

 

Its the main power relay and known to give intermittent starting or cutting out problems.

 

Faq 36 shows you how to get to this relay layer.
