2000 Volkswagen Golf 2 second cut outs when drivin

Thanks so much for your
reply:-). Unfortunately the car eventually stoped. Its wasnt electrical. When it finaly cut out it would not restart by key or push I tough it was something with the starter at first by rocking the car back and forward we eventually got the car started by pushing it but when it started there was a really bad knocking/ratlle comin from the bottom of the engine and was really down on power if I let the engine go under 2000rpm the engine would jus cut. My mechanic said that it was bearings in the big-end that were failing for a while end eventually did. But 4 minutes jus before the car finally stoped it reved out fully on its own then was perfect for couple of mins until it died. Id like to know your opinion before I get a new engine know that you know more about the problem kind regards and many tanks Chris o neill

Keep up the good work ;-) :-)

Tanks for your replys and advice. Would you know anything about engines codes I was told I may get an engine with matching codes we're are these codes and which part of the code will have to match as I'm hoping to put the engine in myself. I know I'm gettin technical but it's worth a try any advice would b appreciated. If you don't know anything about this subject not to worry I really appreciate all advice and help you guys gave me. And jus to say what an awesome website you have goin and what you guys do for us all keep up the good work many tanks and wishing you the best of luck Chris o Neill
