Hi Guys,

I have a 2011 1.2lt Mk6 golf that randomly loses power whilst driving. I'm fairly certain it's some dud electrical wire and i can generally fix it by popping the hood and randomly hitting a few power connectors.

Naturally this solution kind of sucks and i'm hoping for a more permanent fix

If i hit some combination of the areas highlighted in red, it has a tendency to work but doesn't seem to be just one thing or another so i was hoping to get an idea on what to replace specifically. I'm thinking it's electrical leads but i'm uncertain.

When i say power loss - i mean complete lack of response from throttle, lights still work as does the radio just no response from the engine. Power steering sometimes stays on, sometimes doesn't.

What things should i replace to ensure i have a more permanent solution?

Cheers
