Why does my my beetle start and run great but sometimes it just dies and wont start for 10 minutes? It is about 10 degree,s outside. I noticed that it was a little low on antifreeze and the fast idle hose needed me to tape it up.I ran it for an hour and it didnt die but nervous to leave home with it.

Gas or diesel?

Could be a temp sensor, fuel pump or crank sensor problem.

The only way to find the problem is when the car acts-up (cranks but does not start).
