Car didn't want to start... then did! :Confused:

That does say CPS to me - its quite common for that to cause hot-start issues across many models. We had the exact same thing in Lucy's TT where it just randomly wouldn't start from hot from time to time and you had to give it several goes. No faults, and tellingly, no RPM showing in VCDS when it wouldn't start.

Its simple enough to change in the D2. Pop the left driveshaft out and disconnect the headlight level arm from the sensor for better access and then remove the driveshaft heat shield from the gearbox. The only niggle is the small heat shield on the engine behind the downpipe as the factory wiring has a cable tie behind it. With the shaft off you can remove the heat shield (1x M6 bolt), snip the tie, and remove the sensor. Worth soaking the CPS bolt with your penetrating oil of choice since sometimes it can seize in to the gearbox. Unlikely down under, but quite common here. If it snaps you have to take the gearbox out!
