1999 Octavia TDi spontaneously stops due to fuel cut off valve voltage supply failure. Any Ideas anyone.

Thanks, Frank.

Welcome to Briskoda..

Apparently TDi engines cutting out seems to be a common problem (all VAG brands suffer). and is affectionately known as the TDi Sudden Death Syndrome.

See THIS thread..

"A lot of people there reckon the culprit is the "relay 109" - I believe it's actually

called "load reduction relay". The 109 is a number painted on top of it. Many posting to the TDi club describe symptons very similar to mine, so it's going to be my first line of attack when iI take the car in."

Hope this helps... do a search on "tdi sudden death" on here or any other VAG related site for more info.

A friend of mine was plagued by problems with his engine cutting. Various parts were changed but relay 109 eventually turned out to be the culprit.
