someone who recommends replacing everything is bad news. the first thing i would do is check if you have a dirty fuel filter, or there is possibly something in the fuel tank intermittently blocking the output (like a leaf, a piece of paper) after that check the flow of the fuel pump... for starters anyway. to me is sounds like a fuel issue and I would look there first. if that didnt pan out I might try swapping the coil next. good luck. > Hi, I'm new to this, but I was referred here by a local VW club.
