UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Car goes into my local garage today to try and fix it, not been driving it since they put the fault code reader on it....... gutted I'm hoping its not too expensive to fix as the stealer I got it from is being pain with his warranty conditions.

It could be a faulty coil pack as mine used to gain and loose power unitl I changed it due to being corroded etc

Just had the car plugged into my local garage tech machine (not vw) and its showing mis-fire on ignition number 3.... this leads me to believe its a coil pack :(

Not using the polo ...

thanks so far guys.

I drove the car today, no problems at all. Then on the way home after work, once the temp was up alittle in 4th at say 3,000rpm it just started to hesitate

I'm not sure is the cam angle sensor replaced by the previous onwer was actually an original part, also not sure about ...

Ive checked the history of the Polo and the previous owner had, its only done 52,000miles now, but at 49,000 it already had the Cambelt tensioners and crank sensor replaced?

confused now surely the sensor would not fail within this quickly?

Don't suppose you knwo the part number so i can get it on order tomorrow?

Any idea on what this will cost?

Guys,

Can you help? Been driving the GTi today and its being driving like a pig. When the car is warmed up to operating temps if i use the throttle it feels like its bing held back and then lets go, then holds back... like a sticking thottle but i know it cant be that.

So is there a common fault ...

thanks for the advice, im having a looky now

Pics will be one there way

Can anyone tell me if 4x114.3mm alloys would fit the GTi hubs.

I have got 2001 Y reg.

Hiya,

Just got a Gti 3dr, very happy. will post a piccy soon.

Been searching for a good one for ages. Some people wanted stupid amounts of money for cars with outer space mileages.

Missing out on two by 30mins in the last week, and then by luck i managed to be the first to my little beauty ...
