I have an 04' Jetta with the 1.9TDI. A few months ago after driving about 350 miles nonstop, it shutdown while cruising down the road. No power steering or brakes but I got it pulled over and within a minute it cranked right up and I made it home as I was within a couple miles when it died. Check engine light came on but went off before I got home. Next day was one of the first real hot days we had in the April and my wife drove it about 40 miles before it died. Again it would die while cruising down the interstate running 70 but start right back up. She managed to get it back home but it died 3-4 more times. Check engine light came on and I was gonna check it out the next day but the check engine light went back off again. We drove the car locally for over a month with no issue. My wife drives it 28 miles one way to work every day. First time I went greater than that distance with the car, it died on me after about 35 miles on another warm day. I was where I could leave the car all day and late that evening drove it home with no issues. Check engine light went off after a couple miles that evening. My wife drove it back and forth to work again for over a month and then again on its next voyage beyond 28 miles it started doing the same thing. This was in late June and we're in AL so the weather is getting pretty hot. Let it cool off for awhile and drove it home. Died before we got home. But again. Next morning check engine light was off and running fine. Well now its July and pretty hot here every day. Last week it started dying on my wife before she would get to work. After the second day it died on her and she came back home, the check engine light has actually stayed on. So I finally drove down to Autozone just to check the codes. It ran 5 different codes. PO725 and PO727 which are engine speed input malfunctions. I'm assuming it shows those because it shuts down at high speeds. PO671 was about a glow plug. PO128 was coolant below operating range which I figure was another sensor malfunction from the car shutting down instantly. And P2637 which was something about torque management feedback signal "A". I really have no idea where to start. Hard to find someone I trust to look at it. Everybody I know doesn't want to fool with the VW. I have had a couple people mention that it sounded fuel pump related or maybe a fuel temp sensor. Any ideas I could get from anyone on here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ben
