Morning folks,

currently sitting waiting for RAC to arrive :'(

I have a 2004 pd octavia which has died for the second time in a week, symptoms are car starts ok but when reving is a bit hesitant. Then it dies when driving forward.

However you can reverse ok !!?

It did this last week and I got a lift to work, then when I went back for the car 5 hours later it was fine !

Anyone got any ideas ??

cheers

update, rac arrived and was working fine (sods law!)

new fault code of g28 engine speed sensor ,implasable signal.

Apparntly this mezns its the crank sensor so its now in the garage .

Will update thread when i hear more

morning,

Latest is that it looks like the crank sensor is dieing

Garage reckons that the gearbox needs to come out to change the sensor, can anyone confirm thats right ??

Seems a bad design if thats the case !

thanks in advance...
