Cyl head temp sensor connector loose?  I had that on my Fastback - just dusted
off the engine area, then it started misfiring badly, and eventually stopped and
wouldn't start!  I found the loose connection quite quickly, luckily.  It needed
some needle-nosed pliers to push it together properly.  Funny thing, our local
non-franchised VW specialist was standing a few yards away, but he isn't
confident with FI matters (pretty normal state of affairs!).
