Hey everyone!
I have a VW Golf Mk5 with the 1.9 PD TDI BRU 90 HP engine, and it's been giving me a really strange problem. After driving 400–500 km (though it can be completely random — once it happened after just 40 km), the engine suddenly shuts off without any warning. No stuttering or rough running — it just dies smoothly while I'm downshifting, and then it won't start again.
The only modification is that the EGR is turned off.
It used to start again with brake cleaner, but now even that doesn’t help anymore.
Pretty much everything has been replaced on the car:
At this point, I’m totally lost.
What else should I check?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Pretty much everything has been replaced on the car:
- Wiring harness inspected
- Relays replaced
- Fuses are OK
- ECU is brand new and reprogrammed, and shows no meaningful error codes
- Timing components, tandem pump, crankshaft position sensor, camshaft sensor — all replaced
- Fuel system parts that could have caused this were swapped
- Timing is set, torsion value is 0.0
At this point, I’m totally lost.
What else should I check?
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
