Has anyone had problems with the engine speed sensor. Ive got this fault twice with my vrs 1.8T

I haven't had it but I did look at a car with it and it would not start. It stops the Fuel pump relay from activating if it is faulty

I had this earlier in the year :thumbdwn: Real tight to get the sensor but simple enough job otherwise.

And everything else. The engine management ECM needs to know crankshaft speed and position otherwise it doesn't even know the engine is turning over, and therefore won't switch the ignition coils, fuel injectors or anything else.....

Is that true when its warm? My car started fine everytime from cold but refused to start if it was warm. Also the engine would just die sometimes and left me stranded a couple of times

Read my thread here for more about this problem http://briskoda.net/octavia-i/epc-light-16706-code/135510/

No just the light no problem starting. I changed it last night so problem solved
