#71 of 72 1995 passat engine dies whenever it wants by sluchini Aug 31, 2009 (5:57 pm)
the first time this vr6 died we thought fuel even though it was showing six gal.put five gal.more in after a few tries it starts back up.the next time its shows twelve gal.so we added five more gal.i dont think is out of gas do you.can the fuel pump come and go when it wants to.it has run fine for a week now and has not stopped once.this has happend seven times in the last eight weeks.also you have to turn the key very hard forward and get it in the right spot to even crank.has anyone else had either of these problems ?
