At my car's last service they did an update to the ignition system. Maybe you need it too?

No ignition system on diesels, and it's done it again whist travelling at 50km/hr, luckily no traffic around as I had to coast to a safe spot to pull over. Unfortunately the dealer I got it from can't see it until Tuesday, and the other dealer wants to charge for a loan car.

Your car has a key doesn't it? Ignition system extends beyond spark plugs & coils.

had a call from dealer, they are dispatching a tow truck to collect the car and they are providing a petrol RS wagon as a loan car, will be good to compare diesel vs petrol.

Turns out the boost pressure sensor is faulty, and of course there is none in the country, so it has to come from the Czech Republic,God only knows how long that will take

Have they queried VW spares? Distribution centre is in Singapore (I was told). Very unlikely it will come from CZ.
