Re: Definitive Answer ?

T3 with a nice new MOT .
Secondly for anyone following this post the Polo problem is solved, turns out after changing sensors and lots of diags, some with misleading codes and some giving no fault codes at all it was a faulty coil pack so all is well. Happy motoring everyone.

Re: Definitive Answer ?

Yes you are perfectly correct. When it cuts out battery and handbrake are on, then after a while the oil warning comes on. Polo has to wait for a bit, T3 needs a bit of work for MOT, rear brakes including backplates, love working on my van......no electronics ! Take care mate.

Re: Definitive Answer ?

Yes, to be clear. When she cuts out the hand brake and battery symbol is all that is illuminated. Turn key off then on again and all is as expected when restart. Sometimes it will start straight away and other times not until it cools, probably just a few minutes. I stood over it today while it was ...

Looks like this could be my problem ? What do you think 937carrera ? Had CVDS scan and nothing found ! I know the connections look bad but the large crack looks worse.

Re: Definitive Answer ?

I meant no dash warning lamps as if the engine was still running and yes handbrake lamp remains on. Battery terminals and earth's all clean and tight. Could it be the camshaft sensor do you think, the only sensor I have not replaced ? Very strange fault isn't it. Really appreciate your interest and ...

Re: Definitive Answer ?

Thanks for that. When it cuts out it is though you have just switched the ignition off but all the system check lamps stay off until I remove and replace key. New battery so 13.8v to 14v when running. Will not start until 5 minutes after. Changed the fuel pump relay today and previously changed fuel ...

Re: Intermittent Immobiliser Fault


Hi I'm having the same issue with my girlfriend's 1.4 auto. Does anyone have any pictures of the circuit board where the contacts may need soldiering? Many thanks


Seems to have the same fault as my 2001 auto. Bit bad on mine as it cuts out at junctions. As advised I have replaced cam and crank ...
