UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I have a 6n2 1.4 16v. Had it since a was 16 and never had any problems. Recently its started to play up. When pulling away it will hesitate jerk violently then drive smoothly. I am a mechanic so ive checked near about everythin. Im thinkin along the lines of a new throttle body...any ideas?

Thanks

Tried replacing the temp sender?

Thats no really telling me a lot mate. Im jap cars through and through....

Being a mechanic I thought youd have know that

The polos have a Temperature sender located in the thermostat housing that often fails at some point and causes idling problems, fuelling problems, and general instability. It would be worth changing it as its an inexpensive part to replace.

Check the ignition cables!

Well..thats a bit better...the other answer was about as much use as a choclate tea pot

Sender? Do you not mean sensor?

Sender or sensor it can be called either. It sends the temperature to the ECU

Thanks mate, never heard it being called a sender.

Suppose were all different

How is it going?

Ill get round to doing something eventually.

It only really happens when you kick its hole in but when you drive "sensibly" it seems to be okay lol
