Hello all!!

just had my car back form the garage after i was sick of my car cutting out at junctions and idleing like a bag of s**t.
these are the parts u will need to fix your mk4 polo


IDLE CONTROL VALVE £71.30
TEMP SENSOR-4 PIN BLK/YEL £12.48

I got both these parts from GSF Euro's didnt sell them

if this doesnt fix your problem then buy a FORD!!!!!!!!! :wink:

Simon,

You bought the idle control valve too?

On my car, the problem was fixed after 2 temp senders. Was there a fault code on the OBD?

the garage tested both bits i think, they started the car and unplugged 1 at a time, they said that when the engine was cold it thought it was hot and vice versa!!!!!! it had bugged me for so long i just wanted to get it fixed!!
