The 2.0's are solid, the 1.8T seems to have a tendency of vomiting all over itself and suffocating to death.

Biscuit, ive been thinking about your problem.

Replace the coolant temp sensor anyway, because if you havent already, you will need to in the future anyway. I dont think thats whats causing your hot-start problem.

I think your fuel pump relay is taking a ----. Its the big black relay that has "409" stamped in the top. Pull it out, and look at the big copper spade contacts. They should be a copperish color, if they are dark brown or look like they have been ------- hot, I can almost promise thats the problem.

I've been waiting for this weekend to start working on it. I pulled the relay tonight and it doesn't look too good.
