Caddy running funny, cutting out. Crankshaft position sensor

Alright all, sorry if this is in the wrong section but i got my caddy throwing a wobbler.
Basically, glow plug light flashes and about a mile down the road when foot is taken of the accelerator, it cuts out.
Had my guys take a look at it (specialise in VAG) and they put it down to a fault crankshaft position sensor. Changed it and nay bother for about a month.
Now all of a sudden its come back with a vengeance and won't start (keeps turning over until catches up on its fire order) starts up and cuts out again. Turn the key once more she starts a dream. Then down the road glow plug light comes on and cuts out again!
Stuck the code reader on it and it says P0726 Engine speed sensor, CKT range/performance. Surely it can't be the crankshaft position sensor again can it?
Any light on the situation will help please. Cheers
