Post by robbfender »

Hi Everybody new on here so please bare with me ... Had my 1995 Polo 1.6Glx for a year now very pleased with it so far apart from small prob that has gradually got worse .. 9 times out of 10 car starts fine first time but the other time get no electrics at all no dash warning lights no clock no headlights ...nothing ! leave for 10 to 30 mins and suddenly everything works fine and car starts as normal .... cleaned all the battery earths including 1 to body work and all was ok for couple of weeks then nothing again ... changed battery for known good 1 still nothing .. tried to start the next day nothing again ... tried again after work today perfect started first time .... anybody know what maybe causing this ????? thanks for reading and helping (hopefully!) in advance .... robb

Possible alternator failure or a bad fuse somewhere perhaps.
