01 1.9TDi -intermittent error message - xaghra

I have a VW Passet Y reg (2001) 1.9 TDi-over the past two months I have an error message Workshop Engine with coil warning light-which last for 5 seconds with a audible warning beep.
I have had it on a diagnostic computer but it cannot diagnose fault.
The fault occurs about once a week but does not appear to affect the running of the car.
The garage owner said that only when the car will not go or the power reduces to the extent that the car will only do 30-40 mph will he be able to pin point the fault-he believes that it is a loose sensor causing the problem.
Any Ideas please on my next step please.

year and engine varient inserted into subject line.....no trouble at all, neither was writing the three reminders that you see whilst posting.
