I own a 1999 1.6 cl polo in Darwin Australia and i have had a few mechanics look at it but nobody seems to be able to help me out. It has difficulty starting in the morning but its not really cold minimum 16degrees Celsius. When you get it going it is like the choke is stuck on and then it dies when you come to a standstill. When your going down the road it cuts out at about 4500 revs and then you change gear and it comes to life again. Can anyone help me out with a few pointers and if your over this way feel free to drop by and have a coldie.
Thanks Aussie Nick

Dude, I have enough trouble with overheating in Summer and I'm in Brizzy!! Couldn't imagine one up that far North. Maybe you should think of selling her.. :?
