V Reg Polo Classic 1.9 TDI cutting out

Post by thesinger »

Hi All,

My Polo Classic 1.9 TDI keeps cutting out. It can happen without warning and whether or not the engine is warm or cold. When I attempt to restart I don't get a heater light on the dash. To restart I have to take the key out of the ignition and wait for about 15 minutes. I usually then get the heater light and the car will start. Not very reliable though and can cut out at any time afterwards. I have noticed that when I take out the key from the ignition that if I hear a "click" the car has a better chance of restarting. No click and she won't restart. It has been suggested to me that it could be a security fault i.e. key recognition? Please help.

Cheers
