i recently purchased a used 05 Passat TDI which after 4-5000 miles of beautiful performance has suddenly started running poorly as if it has jumped timing(possibly running on 2 cylinders). I immeadiately changed the fuel filter to no avail. When I drove the car it would run fine and when it started acting up if I turned the key off and restarted the car it would run fine again , sometimes running for several minutes and sometimes longer. I read the thread about the wiring harness being chaffed through and thought that closely resembled my problem. I have since brought the car to the VW dealer and they said it sounded like a fuel pump. I asked about the wiring harness so he said he would check it out...to make a long story short he replaced the wiring harness $575 and we thought the problem was solved .2 days later the problem is back.Any suguestions would be very helpful. Could it be a fuel pump and if so why the intermentency? any thoughts on the matter would be very helpful
