Hall Sender
Okay, okay....
The bad thing about electrical components is that they can give us terrible problems intermittently. Instantaneous, catastrophic failure is rare. They are not like a mechanical part that works until it breaks/wears out, then stops working (at least correctly). An electrical device may work fine, stop working for a period, then work fine again...on and on ad nauseum. Compounding the problem is that all too often two or more electical components work together in a system, such as our later ignition systems. Every time you add a component you take the possible system problems to the next power.
Often, the only way to find out which component is at fault is to start replacing them, one at a time, until the problems disappears.
I didn't design this situation, I just try to work within its constraints. Usually, all I have is the ability to remove and replace parts. So that's what I do and it works (not every time, but usually). The bad thing about this method is that you'll pay for some good spare parts that you don't need at that moment The good thing is that you'll end up with some good spare parts... which is what most Scirocco owners collect far more than they ever thought they would. :)
Yes, it's possible that you may buy every sensor, computer, switch, relay, etc. on your car before you find the cuprit. (but not likely)
At this point, what's your alternative but to replace the Hall Sender with a known-good unit?

Larry, thanks for the advise...seeing that I have no idea why my rocco is not running and I can't track
it down (nor can anyone else for that matter), I might as well buy each sensor, computer, switch
available for a 16V rocco. I should have a coupla g-notes stashed away somewhere...
Seriously tho guy, can you explain why a hall sender can be bad but the car starts and runs...that's all
I'm asking...keep it on topic and I'll spend my money as it needs to be spent (I've already suspected
the coil and bought a stupid coil and it didn't help; so don't tell me to just replace it when it may
not be the solution to the problem)...
Larry you did offer an explanation (possibly) so be nice... :)
TIA
