Cleared code re crank sensor. Removed retaining screw from sensor and trying to remove it. It will turn but stuck in and awkward to pry it out. Anyway, engine did start and tickover steady. I'll post progress.....

Base model. Fault code P0727 so that's why I suspect crank sensor issues

Thanks. Looks like need to clean connections first then replace sensor if its shot. It looks like its to the right and down from oil filter housing. May have to remove filter housing to get sensor out. (8mm multi point socket?)

Manual

Yes, have plugged in diagnostic gismo and it came up with P0727 fault code. This Refers to crank sensor. Just now need to locate it, clean contacts and see if that sorts it. A new one is around £30 so not too bad if I have to replace it. Where is it? (1.4 TDI)

As above. Short trip then stopped for 5 mins. Tried to start and flashing dash light suggests preheat not working.
