All problems now solved. 2 new components fitted 1-differential pressure sensor 2- cam sensor. Thrse arnt expensive items and ive done over 1,000 faultless miles since they were fitted. -
Ive had similar problems on my 2014 vrs diesel, engine cutting out, sudden losses of power, glowbplug light has come on a few times etc.will look into getting the boost pressure sensor changed asap

Funnily enough, i do have a fair few keys on the same bunch as this cars ignition key. Its certainly something i'll bear in mind if my dealer doesn't come up with something concrete. -

Good shout with these two thoughts,, apppreciate you responding, & someone else has also mentioned the battery as a possible culprit, though the car does crank over pretty fast at start up, -

Thank you guys, really appreciate the comments, some good suggestions for where the fault may lie. Im not driving it at the moment. The car has been sat in my skoda dealer for the last 2 weeks, but they havnt even looked at it yet & dont have a slot in their workshop until 1st nov! -
My 2014 vrs diesel DSG (101k miles, totally standard, full main dealer service history) has been cutting out when driving, the engine just turns itself off and i get a message on the dash display saying 'restart engine manually'. This is a pretty dangerous fault as its happened when driving!!! Most recently at 60mph , so i then have no power and have to freewheel to a standstill to put the dsg into 'park' and restart the engine. This happens even with the stop/start turned off. Any ideas?
