Hi all
Was wondering if anyone has any ideas on the following:
I went to start the car this morning. the engine started firing and then cut out immediately. After a couple of tries i put my foot down once it had started. the engine spluttered for a few seconds before i held it at 2,000rpm for a few seconds. after this it idled o.k and drove okay.
the only thing i can think of is that it was slightly colder this morning (and it did happen before the summer too) Update: The same happened this afternoon
is there anything that 'goes' quite often on polos in the starting system?
thanks!

Starting problem.
Mine has just done the same but is more terminal it will not run idle at all with out foot on the gas!
I have taken it to VW and they say I need a new Throttle body!!! £420.01 Fitted!!!!
Anyone else got this problem on 2000 polo's?

Hi all,
I have just got my polo gti and this morning have experiened the same issue you mentioned. If this is not too problematic, then does it mean that I just need to put the foot down on cold mornings? Not in a situation right now to spend that kinda money for a new throttle body. Will my ride be OK still?
