Stalling issue - FIXED, YEAY!!!!
PDT:
Sounds a lot like fuel pressure sensor.
I would take it elsewhere, £220 to check something that takes less than 30 mins is scandalous. No need to remove rocker cover, just the hpfp.
Saint Steve:
Removing the rocker box is less then 10 mins work .
Sometimes a visual check will give good indications, rather then looking a electrical fault codes only.
Also gives them a better idea of the real condition of your engine aswell.

If the cam follower is worn, which i think is what the technician was trying to say, could it cause the same issues? It has got progressively worst but it still pulls like a train at high revs? Surely if the cam is fooked then it would be running like a bag of sh*t?

I understands the need for a visual inspection but 3hrs labour for reading the fault codes and removing the HPFP and rocker cover seems a bit ridiculous to me. If I was confident it would get somewhere else I would take it to my local VW specialist but I just ain't sure it will and I don't want to cause any more damage.

Well I picked up the motor today from VW in Huddersfield today after they repaired the rust on the wings and the boot. It was raining on collection but first impressions are that they have done a superb job.
However the fault is still not diagnosed and it has become ridiculously bad to drive. At idle it stalls within 5 seconds everytime you dip the clutch or sit in neutral and I mean EVERYTIME :confused:.
At high revs its still smooth but anything below 3000 rpm its constantly loosing all throttle response and power. I have got th tools to change the cam follower and the fuel filter but I doubt they will fix the issue. Did anyone else suffer from constant stalling when the HPFP failed or any other parts associated with the fueling system. I just can't think what could be causing it really.
I know it needs to go to the garage, which it will but only once I have checked the cam follower. Seems unlikely that it would run better at high revs than low if the cam was worn though?
