The engine will buck or stall and then completely shut down. This happened at all speeds and even at an idle. Has been to the dealer 4 times. The dealer cannot find the cause of the problem. Vehicle has been diagnostically tested. Also, fuel injection wa scleaned. At another trip to the dealer, and they replaced the fuel pump and filter, and did another diagnostic test. Currently, the vehicle is in the dealership for the same reason awaiting repairs. Contacted the manufacturer, an area representative came to inspect the vehicle, no information on his findings.

My blinkers stopped working in August 2002. Dealer repaired under warranty. January 2003 check engine light came on. Car off warranty; turbo cut off valve replaced and coolant temp sensor. Check engine light came on a couple weeks later. Took Gti to dealer again. Dealer replaced the fuel pump relay. Now, 3 days later the check engine light came on again.
