Re: 156 stalling under slow speeds

Tomorrow we will get the suggestions they have after running diagnostics, and I am afraid they'll start a similar hunt as you have done here.

The car has some dents, it is a bit rusty, I have not been nice to it - it is behind on service and it has run too low on oil several times, so I think if it is too expensive to fix, I'll let the car rest in peace.

The symptoms goes like this:
* After running for some time (15 to 20 minutes) the car stalls
* It has only stalled while running at slow speed
* It feels like the fuel supply has been stopped
* The "Injection"-light shows when the problem occurs
* After some time (about 10 minutes) it is possible to start it again

After reading this thread one impression is that then it is the "crank sensor".

My question is - are my symptoms the same as you have been experiencing?

The thing that is most unclear to me is if your car(s) start again immediately or if you have to wait for a time, like me.

That would say to me "CRANK SENSOR!!!", about 40 of our Scotish pounds (55 euros) to replace the sensor.
