VW Golf 1.9TDi (1996)... About a year ago, the car developed an intermittent electrical fault. Driving along or stopped and idling, the engine just cuts out entirely. Still turns. No unexpected noises. Ignition coil light and speedo stop working. Other electricals appear to be ok (lights, radio, hazards, etc). After a period between a few seconds and 5 minutes, the ignition coil light lights up again, and the engine restarts. The problem is getting more and more frequent and frustrating on an otherwise good car. A year ago, I took it to a vehicle electrical specialist, but the problem didn?t manifest and they couldn?t find anything... any ideas?
