I have a warm start problem with my 2003 1.4 16v Polo. I can drive it for a couple of minutes and then restart it without much trouble. If I drive for 10 mins or longer it can take up to 15 times to start again. It turns over but won't fire. After 4-5 hours its fine again. I've taken it to several garages including VW but none of them can work out whats up cos the engine management light doesn't come on. Has anyone heard of this problem before or got any knowledge how to fix it? Any ideas would be a great help.

Someone else told me it might be that but they said it was a complete guess. I'll get that changed and hope it solves the problem. Thanks for your help!
