UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hello I am new around here... great forum you got here . I own a 6N2 1.0 MPI and as the title says at around 3K rpm the car sorts of starts jattering and looses some power for 3K onwards and it is really annoying!!! BTW this only happens when I slam the pedal to the floor. If I increase the RPM slowly with the pedal lets say half way down all goes fine. I asked several mechanics and all came with varied faults, from HT leads to fuel filter to fuel pump and injectors or throtle body and I ll end up bank rupt if I change all of these!! Have any of you got any idea what could it be pls? tks in advance

Do you have any of the lights on the dash? Had you had it on vag-com?

no lights on dash ! Ehh not yet, do not have the kit ... maybe someone had the same problem and managed to solve it ... ( btw spark plugs are new so they are not the trouble source for sure) and does anyone know where to find the fuel filter maybe I ll give it a try??? cos I ve been told it is near the rear wheel arch, next to the fuel tank but it is nowhere to be found ... could it be incorporated with the fuel pump found in the tank?

fuel filter is located behind the fuel tank. its in front of the rear axle area when looking at the underside from the rear of the . When changing it ensure you connect it the right way around - there is a guide in the DIY section.

It could also be the intake manifold sensor - id get it plugged into vagcom as it will most likely tell you what sensor or item isnt working properly. Itll save you time trust me!

tks for the replies, I ll have a look again for the fuel filter but I am 99.9% sure it is not there because I have followed the fuel hoses from the tank till the engine bay, and I think I saw now filters !! I have just ordered a VAG-COM for ebay ... hopefully it is not difficult to use .

I can guarantee you that it is there lol I changed one yesterday for someone lol

ohh god, stupid me I was looking in all the wrong places!! tks, I ll have a go with that first

btw if you manage to find the topic where it shows the replacement of the fuel filter post the link pls can't find it

finally got the filter changed ... i ll go and give her a spin to see how it performs now
