I have a 2001 VW Passat. It has been extremely hot in San Antonio. This pass month when I drive my car somewhere and turn it off. I have to wait 2 -3 hours before I can start it again. If it hasn't been a sufficient amount of time my car will make a sound like it's not catching. Recently When I am stopped at a light or idling it dies. It will start up again after I try about 10Xs. Can someone help me?
