Volkswagen Passat juddering then esp light comes on !!

Car: Volkswagen Passat
Variant: tdi
Model Year: 2003
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
My car starts to judder as if it is running out of fuel - occasionally I can drive through it and it stops other times the ESP light comes on and the car judders until I can pull over and turn the engine off. Happening almost every time I use the car now.

dont know if this will affect the esp light but try removing the rocker cover and unplugging and spraying the injector wiring multi plugs with some wd 40 then refit eveything and try . if this works as temporary then you will probably need to replace the harness inside the rocker cover it just plugs in at the back of the head
