Stalls after 45 minutes of starting
2000 Volkswagen Beetle 210000 miles
I own a Beetle 2.0 year 2000 and it stalls after around 45 minutes of starting it. I have already changed its coil, camshaft and crankshaft sensor, fuel pump, relay 409 and throttle body but it keeps turning off suddenly. I've been trying to find a solution for a month and a half but without positive results. Does anyone know something about it?

I had the same problem with a Beetle 99 and it was solved when a piece, which I don't know the technical word, that is in charge of controlling the air flow to the engine, was replaced. It is an electronic gadget and in my case it was burnt.

The name you are searching for must be the MAF sensor.

CommentDied while driving won’t start
2001 Volkswagen Beetle 140000 miles
Just died won’t start. Replaced fuel pump still won’t start... obd2 code P0135 which I had before died. (Comes on and off).
Will a code show up for “crankshaft center sensor” or “camshaft sensor” on my code reader while just cranking engine over? How about bad computer?
I’m a backyard broken mechanic. Thanks
