My car(1.6 gsi) is pissing me off big style at the moment,the problem is i can be driving along then all of a sudden it will cut out. then when i try and start it the bloody thing wont start.
Then eventually when it feels like it itll start,this could be 10 minutes later or the next morning. Please can anybody help? x-(

you say it cuts out. well does it loose power a little then cut out, or do u mean it simply dies on he spot?
Tried the common things like plugs/leads/dizzy.
Maybe even fuel related

I had similar prob on my 1.2i, turned out it needed a new coil and ignition amplifier. ;)
