Just got my golf out of hibernation while its dry and sunny. Yesterday after 10 mins cut out and started again after about 1 min or so. Same thing happened again today after 10 mins exactly. I was wondering if its the fuel filter got some muck in it.
Driving season coming so could not wait to get the golf out for a clean and a drive.

I filled up the tank in october when i laid it to rest over winter.

When did you last change the fuel filter?
Have you looked at the fuel filler neck for holes?

There there is issues with the CIS fuel Pump relay that can be stressed and over heat and cause cold solder joints.
Not all Fuel Pump relay are the same see
cabby-info.com for details on which to buy.
