NEED HELP. New fuel pump and pump relay fitted. Car still cuts out
Hi, I am in need of some help. Im not very good with cars.
I have a 2008 A3 TFSI.
Back in November the compression went on the car which meant a engine rebuild (Pistons, fuel injectors etc etc) costing my just under $7000AUD. I then had a new fuel pump and fuel pump relay fitted. Now when I drive the car and its not been driven for a few hours (engines cold) I could be driving around a roundabout, turning a corner and then the car cuts out, it won't restart BUT if I take the fuel pump fuse out and put it back in the car starts straight away.
As you can imagine this is becoming quite dangerous as its breaking down in the middle of the road.
Has anyone else experienced this or knows of what it could be?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Luke
