Loss Of Power, Engine Stalls

[maalik]

Hello,

I've got a sharan TDI 115 2001 but I think it is the same engine as the galaxy.

My problem is when I drive, less than one mile, my engine lose power and finally stalls. I start again and it will happen again and it will be more difficult to start. Time to time even if I push the gas pedal nothing happen.

Moreover I just bought the car :angry: but when I tested it few days ago it was fine and I have been on the motorway. But the check engine light never come up with ignition, don't know if it is normal. :(

Thank you very much to help me :D :D

Thanks for your answer.

I bought it from a car dealer.I will phone them to explain what happens.Told them already that the engine check doesn't come up with ignition but part of that the car was working fine at that time and he told me that he didn't know about that light.

Let you know what happens next.

Thanks for your help :angry:

if the car starts well from cold its the high tension cables that have corroded.

next check the ht sealed dual coils.

try and borrow from a donor vehicle before buying because faults like this require substitution of parts before purchase to save costs

all the best john
