Can anyone help? We have a 56 plate Jetta at work with the usual TDI 2.0 140 lump in it. It's just started cutting out when driving. It doesn't give any warning and when it cuts out all the dashboard lights go too. The (typically useless) dealership suggested it might be a bad batch of fuel but surely a normal engine stall wouldn't take all the electrics out too? It can then take a couple of minutes to restart - first tries again produce no dasboard lights at all. I'm going to go and check all the battery connections are solid as it seems more electrical to me, but after that I'm stumped so any help would be much appreciated! Thanks.

It was a relay buried deep behind the dash that had burned out.

£6.95 part...
