Hi All , Newbie here
I have a VW Polo 1.2 2009 .
When I start up the engine it will rev as normal past 2000 RPM no problem so long as I keep the revs High
If I drop the revs to tick over or at least lower than 2000 the car seems to go into some sort of Limp Mode and wont go past 2000RPM
Just changed the Crank Position Sensor as that was easiest and no change.
Only other thing I can think of is the Engine Mounts are shot and engine does wobble lots.
Thanks in Advance
Adrian

Engine shakes a lot.
Did you do a scan?
Sounds like 1 cilinder is not performing well

Thanks Maarten ,
It does seem like the revs are a bit uneven and possible misfiring, could be as simple as a spark plug , what do you think ?
didn't do a scan

Did you check the plugs?
When were they changed last time?

Those have a lot of oil on them.
That's not normal

Too bad you couldn't save the engine.
Better luck with your next car
