SOURCE: 2000 beetle will die at random times, and will not start for about 15 minutes!

this can be caused by a bad fuel filter or dirty injectors. try a bottle of fuel injector or fuel system cleaner in a tank of gas. i suggest lucas products which can be found at any parts store.

SOURCE: i have a mk3 golf gti 16v on an n plate ( 1996 )

not sure here as to the correct layout of this engine but please forgive me as i blame my age but on the side of the butterfly on this engine ,right side from front is a box with 3 torx screws or is it four anyway this when removed has a carbon twin track check this out as often this wears out and then the engine will not idle .Use a multi meter to test the tracks for continuety ,now do you need to know about a humber hawk or MKIV zodiac as well .

Take the ignition module to an auto zone to have it tested.
Back when computer control was new people had thought when the module is bad that the vehicle would not run, period. That is not true.

Will the alarm kill switch on a 96 gti golf be active if no led lights are flashing

have a look at the earth lead from the body of the car to engine to see if this is corroded an easy test would be to put a jump lead from negative of battery to anywhere on engine gearbox if this doesn't solve issue check the lead going to starter motor for corrosion and tightness

Engine sensor on the dash board turns on randomly

Hi. either the oil is low, or the oil pump not working properly. Check the oil level to see if it's full, and if it is, you might want to consider replacing the oil pump. Hope this works for you
