Hi

is it possible to see  the RPM sensor with the engine in place and without 
the use of Xray vision?
I've been told its close to the TDC sensor.
I spent hours peering through holes today with my trusty maglite

I need to test it as I suspect it to be at fault
The car starts fine from cold runs fine untill it starts to get warm 
(between 5 and 15min) then cuts out the fuel pump and probably the ignition 
aswell (although I haven't checked this).
The car will turn over but will not power the fuel pump relay. Whilst 
cranking the engine the needle on the tacho doesn't move at all.
As soon as the engine is cold then it starts first time.

Any advice would be gratefully recieved and may prevent premature 
balding.....

does anyone have any tips on DIY fault diagnostis VAG COM or similar?
thinking of trying to get my car and PC to talk to each other. to try and 
help me with ABS fault...
but thats another story!!!!!

Many thanks

Pete

P.S the car has been stood for nearly a year....
