UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Mine doesn't anway, it's a year 2000 model.

knocking on the door of a cambelt change.... I'd say nearer 4k. Maybe a wee bit more

Sounds a bit weird considering you changed the plugs and leads. Faulty ignition coil/distributor?

It would work on something, but not a polo gti...

cool., thanks.

Does anyone know where this is? I had a look but couldn't see it.

My gearbox sounds like a bag of nails, I don't think I'll make it to the garage....

I think faulty HT leads would manifest itself in other ways, like chugging, spluttering and lumpy idle, even more so when it's raining. It sounds like your hot-start problem is more related to some kind of sensor. VAG COM diagnostics might be able to tell you more if you are determined to fix it you...
