michael here again,golf 7 gti 2013 again ,my car cut out , non starter,at 66500km,this time after 4 d ays of testing and diagnosing, found COOLANT SHUT OFF VALVE!!!!! connector plug CORROSSION!!!! water from valve leaks in to connector to inside wiring harness almost to ECU next to battery, this cost me a lot of money to repair, i feel there should have been a recall on this issue, as they had same problem on AUDI A8 and BMW i8 to it would be a good idea to check the connector plug on COOLANT SHUT OFF VALVE as image car cutting out at high speed!!!!! :fear: :eek: :crazy:
