Hello everyone its me again i ran into an issue today where my car would completly die while driving (same as if i would turn the car off) some time it would start right away and drive fine for maybe 5 minutes and then turn off again and sometime it would crankover and not start for a good 5-10 minutes . I also have a glowplug light flashing when i was able to drive it . My vcds is at home so i am not able to scan it till later today but im looking at some possible cause to this thanks !

That would be your crank sensor, which perfectly matches your symptoms.
Luckily it's easy to replace and (relatively) cheap, too.

Ill inspect wire tomorrow and if everything is good ill change it

I don't believe there's a older or newer version of the ALH crank sensor that would also require a connector swap, so I'd wonder if someone sold you the right ALH crank sensor, or maybe gave you a cam sensor instead?
Apparently there is 2 different connector but the sensor itself is the same the one on my car is more of a rectangular shape while the other one is kinda in a D shape

Don't have direct experience with this connector, but it sounds much like the two-wire connector off the ALH injector #3.
2003 Jetta wagon came with a "D" shape connector, while other ALH models came with the square one.
Use pin-removal tool to remove the pins from one, transfer to the other (scrap yard, or at worst, a few $ from dealer) - done.

Yes thats exactly the same connector as the injector one

A wiring issue between the sensor and the ECU would also cause the same code.
Is there a good way to check it without opening everything up ? Also when i pinned the new connector i could of put the wire in the wrong position is there any info anywhere for the position of these 3 wire ?

How to test crank sensor
2004 diesel jetta G28 sensor Ok , here is what i have found for testing the Crank speed sensor, You have three pins ( pin 1 , 2 & 3 ) test pin 1 and 2 /// 1 and 3 these should be open , Then test the OHM,s on pin 2 to pin 3 , should be 480 to 1000 ohms Click to expand... OK , so tested...
Thank you !How to test crank sensor

This thread popped up while searching for p0321. My 01 alh golf just died on the highway this weekend, I figured it was a clogged fuel filter based on the air in the fuel line between the filter and injectors and the fact that I was running on empty, but after a new filter I’ve got the same symptoms as you.
Did you find what that wire was actually rubbing against?

I really dont know what it was rubbing against but where the short was is pretty much under the battery and close to the starter
Glad to hear you found what was causing it ! Yeah the wire in these are really old
