Sorry for not replying sooner. Yes when the 3 lights flash a fault code has been set in the ECU. [k111] should illuminate for the rest of the journey preventing engine switching off.

Re: Ecomatic electrical components overview
Sounds very strange... Do you have VAGCOM? Might be worth dusting out VAGCOM and checking all the measuring block values to make sure they are plausible. If you've managed to fix it by bypassing wires seems like it is luckily just a sensor fault and nothing mechanical.
