Hi guys having issues with my beloved golf right now.
mileage 266k, i couldn't start the car one day so was diagnosed as failed fuel pump under passenger seats.
then it started and it would die on motorway after 20minutes or so of driving almost same location each time, up a hill. it would sputter then cut out black smoke out the back, engine would shut off and id have to pull over on the motorway. got it recovered again this time they said it was blocked fuel filter perhaps so they changed this. then it was fine for few weeks but every time i get to this particular hill it would sputter and almost die out but keep going.engine would be shaking violently and the gas pedal would work and then stop working and then kick back in and work and then loose drive again. as id go up a hill id have my foot to the floor and nothing just revs going down then it would kick back in again if i dropped into 4th. the car would be in limp mode for sure. once this was triggered it does this for about 15 minutes then kinda goes away but reduced power for sure. the rets of the journey car keeps going.
now yesterday out of the blue it engine cuts out again on motorway. now its hadn't fully died like this with engine shutting off for a month or so and not restart. i thought the fuel pump and filter fixed this problem. but yesterday i was stuck on a round about wouldn't start at all. after trying the car periodically it restarted on the 57th time magically. got home tried to have a look at it and the bonnet latch failed!! got it open via some hacks and had a look under the hood. nothing had changed really so didn't understand why it actually konked out yesterday. but i noticed a hose from my air box was split and had come loose. not sure if this vacuum hose would cause the car to shut of but i don't know. i put some tape around it to make it more tight and fit it back in since then it has started and will do short journeys. i even put some v power diesel in it and it was flying. like turbo power was there for a slow car. i don't know what is causing the cut out because i thought that was fixed and now this limp mode followed by misfiring is a mystery to me. seems to initiate uphill. at this exact same location every-time on my journey. i tried approaching that hill in 4th still cut outs. any help appreciated.
