    Solved This Problem! After many hours, discovered this problem was caused by leaky Brake Master Cylinder. Brake Master Cylinder replaced. Now brakes work as normal.

Vw golf 1.4 w reg wont start when warm bjust turns over ? when its cooled down after say 20 mins it starts an drives like there is nothing wrong

Sounds like it could be your coolant temperature sender thats faulty.It could be reading the incorrect temperature and sending the wrong signal to the ecu when the engine is warm.Sometimes even having the fault memory read will not show any faults in system.Try changing the sensor[located on the engine near waterhousing on side of head]and see what happens.Good luck.
