In most cases water or moisture is effecting the HT circuit and parts.Find a spray product for moisture or at least some petroleum with a small brush and apply on HT coil,distributor,spark plug wires and connectors.Also spray on all electric connectors you see.Good luck

all dizzy vw/audi cars stop running when you wash them. Take the cap off and clean all of the water out.

Default No they don't.

I wash my VW/Audi dizzy motors about 2 times a month. No problem. Ever. Hose, or pressure washer.
