A Random Guy Showed Up At My House To Help Fix The Golf Lol

[@B4SSB34T]

If you are checking fault codes on turned off engine it will always show camshaft position sensor error in 1.8 abs. Try checking on working engine. To my mind the problem might be in ecu or alarm.

[@kreha967]

I bet on alarm too.

[@TA-hn9cs]

+1 for ignition switch. As was stated, try wiggling the key with the motor running to try and recreate the stalling issue

[@ANGELDIAZ-pc4pm]

Check if have a module for the ignition like mk1 and mk2. That module control the fuel pump and the ignition.

[@Ajcr5050]

Try jiggling the key while it runs, if it cuts off or stops cutting off it could be the ignition switch. Also my vr was doing the same exact thing for about 8 months, spent alllll this money on multiple parts figuring it out, nothing fixed it. Pulled the ecu and swapped the chip and the problem was completely gone!

[@Ismaak5]

Ideas. The gas tank cap may have problems letting air in the tank. Have seen cars die due to the tank not breathing air. The crank case could be getting pressurized due to the oil breather being blocked, thas stalling the engine. The temperature sensor for the ECU may be faulty causing all sort of problems. Or the simpliest thing in the world.... sparkplugs. All of these worth checking.

[@deeeekayyy4666]

[@jangielens3525]

Normally the ecu then takes a fixed temperature so it should run.

[@ERAutomotive]

Jan Gielens yes that’s right but if the sensor is reading something and it’s just way odd but still in spec it could cause some weird shit So if anything try leaving it unplugged then it will run off a set temp and see if it still dies

[@blackjellybean2956]

Had a similar problem with my old mk2 jetta.. it was fuel pump, relay related.

[@rvborgh]

Hi Christian, Do you have an ignition timing light? After the car is warmed up set the distributor at 6 BTDC on the flywheel at 900 rpm and just leave it be. Kind of basic but check the battery/alternator voltage with a voltmeter when its running. Make sure its > than 11.5v. Do you have vacuum caps? I'd start plugging up all the vacuum lines coming off the manifold (including the one going to the brake booster - obviously don't go for a drive like that) including any lines going to say the evap solenoid. See if the car still dies when all these are capped. Doesn't die anymore... check evap solenoid first. PS: On the A3s the ignition switches also tend to cause all kinds of flaky issues as well when they start to go intermittent. Headlights going off randomly then coming back on, etc. Something to check.

[@caglja]

Christian Smith for your engine the camshaft sensor is a hall sensor check the voltage on these 3 wires if I remember correctly it must be 5v and check that the distributer ring does not touch the hall sensor and rotate freely

[@gerhardorosz7984]

Does it have an immobilizer? If yes it s most likely the issue.

[@markotomic6008]

Immobilizer is in key,so I think that problem could be in key code, steering column

[@DJ-Cars]

Could it also be an ignition issue? Like the power wire to it?

If youre getting camshaft sensor codes or anything similar, i would pop the valve cover and see if i can find any sensors in there and trace any wires or connections that you may find.

[@chrisrosen2147]

Have you checked fuel pressure? This seems like your fuel regulator is acting up like it has a small rip or hole in it's diaphragm and I haven't seen it mentioned as a replaced part yet. Also an easy way to check for vacuum leaks (eyes don't always give the best results) spray vacuum lines, intake manifold basically anywhere before the exhaust and if idel picks up it's a leak.

[@chrisoakman1046]

Does the fuel pump run after it shuts off and won’t start??

[@denyle]

Pull the alarm, and get yourself a new ignition switch. Ignition switch will do this exact thing, including difficulty starting.

[@kalourd]

if it's the hall sensor, make sure the plug's pins are all clean and no wires are broken. I had a similar issue once where my car (MK3 GTS 1.8 MP9) died while driving multiple times. Only after spraying multi-purpose lubricant in both connector and plug, the problem was gone.

The timing won’t cause the car to shut off,most likely is a problem with the immobilizer in the theft sistem.

[@bwarn1975]

Christian , on a ABA 2.0 their is no camshaft position sensor . It would indicate that your timing is incorrect or a tooth off. the 1.8 might be the same!

[@tecdesigns8183]

Has it had an aftermarket immobiliser ever? Also there is a sensor on the gearbox that maybe the crank sensor my wife had a mk3 based ibiza which did something similar till we replaced this sensor. This was an injection model tho and had a coilpack

Is it sensor for reverse lights or like some sensor on flywheel? (Similar to cam or crank sensor) Didnt seen a 1.8 engine in long time ago soo this is interesting.

Loving the vids mate. I had the same problem. Turned out to be the ecu relay. Not sure if yours has it. I had both ecu and the fuel relay replaced and it worked a treat!!

[@MrMinecraftEpidemic]

Had a Mk3 Jetta trek, camshaft position sensors are known to ‘lose signal’ and kill the engine when they get hot (if they’re old) after about a 15-20 min drive my car would die, after sitting for a while and she cools down she would start right back up and repeat. Sensors cheap so might as well replace it.

[@ryanlott6309]

Cam sensor in that car is the hull switch in the distributor bud. Stupid idea but this engine is close to a mk2 motor. And the coolant temp sensor does stupid shit like this. Seems to do it once it's warm. Just a thought. Also as some one else said. Try fuel pump relay and ecu relays. Felt with a Ford that would start run drive then the fuel pump relay would over heat and fail causing a shit off. Leave it to sit and then it would start and run again. Till the relay over heated again.

[@J.F.K.O]

my dad's mk3 did something similar. same code and that was because of the ignition coil.

The distributor has a little mark when you take the cap off on the right on it that should line up with a mark on the trans too there should be a little hole on the trans with a timing mark it all has to be in time together, the timing mark on the belt and the timing on the distributor need to line up with trans mark

[@jangielens3525]

Is it a 1.8 abs or a 1.8 aam ? maybe bad fuel, a bad map sensor or a water flange temp sensor ?

[@djeazyg96]

Try turning the distributor either way to see if it changes Hall sender is in in the distributor

[@Knuffy025]

The ABS or AAM has no camshaftsensor, the Engine get this Signal from the Hall Sensor, inside the ignition distributor. I think this Failt will always displayed when the Engine is not Running. Maybe you Check this first. What about a vacuum building up in your tank by running the Engine ? Do you test running the Engine with open fuel cap ? If its now running for long time, than the relais for the carbon filter can it be.

Clogged catalytic converter? That caused stalling on my aba. It would idle but wouldn't drive. Other then that it's losing either fuel or spark so when it won't start use a spark tester and see if it's getting spark. Same thing for fuel see if its getting it while trying to crank it. Check out Thomas exovcds here on KZbin. He has vids showing how to test the ignition coil and the ecu control of the coil with a test light. I hope this helps.

@@Girthquake1.9 I can give you some info on how serious this is: Driving around without a valid license plate, in an unregistered car in open traffic is a misdemeanor and a fee of 70 EUR in Germany. Way more serious is not having the compulsory insurance for the car, which is not only German law but a Europe wide regulation. Driving a car without the compulsory insurance is not just a misdemeanor, but a criminal offence and this can result in a prison sentence of six months or a fine, which can amount to up to 180 daily rates - determined on the basis of the perpetrator's usual income. If the public prosecutor can prove that he has acted intentionally (e.g. based on the evidence provided in several of his recent videos), the fine will be much higher and he will get a driving ban (withdrawal of his driving licence in Germany) and the car can be taken away from him, since he is not only the driver but also the owner.
