Skoda Octavia starting problems

    hello there good folk,

    I have a skoda Octavia 2003 1.4 petrol,
    and I'm having starting problems,

    when I say starting problems its more like a restart problem. !

    it starts every morning with no problem, the problem occurs its when I drive it for a bit, lets say 10 min to half hour drive,

    then when I pop in to the shops or stop to get petrol, or I stall it at traffic lights, it won't restart, and have to leave it sitting for about 10mins! before I'm able to start it again, its very intermittent,

    when the car is driving there doesn't seem to be any problems with it loss of power or chugging,
    any help would be appreciated

    thanks in advanced

    😊

    Did you scan it?

    Crankshaft sensor comes to mind

    yes my mechanic scanned it, nothing showed up, he said the same thing about the sensor,

    how much would that set me back if it is that,

    The part is cheap (less than €50), but I don't know what a mechanic would charge to fit it.....
