UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

when the temp sensor is going people say about idleing problems my car has started idleing at 1500 evey now an then but if you restart the engine its fine ????

i'll try that the first joint in the exhaust the one directly joing to the manifold the bolts were loose and blowing ive tightend them up so will it have reset the mixture i'll try the battery thing tho

my 1997 1.6 polo only does about 100 miles to 20 ltrs which is like 25 mpg which is urban dring but it idles fine and my temprature gauge works fine ie it stays at 90 C when warm never droppes or rises has passed mot tody fine on emitons is this normal ???? i thought about changing the temp sensor ...

ok i'll try that and i'll get back to you and let you know if its sorted it

ok but if i give it beans say 1st n 2nd ie past 4500 rpm it pours smoke out the back for a shourt pieroid ie 30 secs then dies down and disapiears until u rag it again lol i assumed it was comming up the breather and into the intake ???? i drove thecar back from birmingham 170 miles with no problems ...

hi there ive just bought a 1.6 polo and i was doing a serive on it and the airfilter / airbox where full of oil ive heard its due to excessive crankcase pressure??? im just wondering if there is anther beather blocked somewhere else or is my engine foobard any help apreasheated lol
