    • Ww polo station wagon 1,6 1998 ... petrol ... the diagnostics say an occasional power failure on the first nozzle ... WHAT CAN BE TO HIM .... I have the impression that it works on three pistons ... as soon as I slow down or in place standing he goes out.

    • polo 1,4 16v im, am a problem when i start in first gear the engine is damped and the engine is running erratically, thanks,

        • Good morning I have two problems I have a polo 1.4 tdi 2007
          He turned on my error for the dpf filter, the error for the eger valve and the error for the heaters flashes non-stop, I tried the sonax liquid for cleaning the dpf filter and nothing has changed, the car still goes perfectly without any problems, starts everything normally, just pulls it all It burns and annoys me. I don't know another problem for you, but my polo consumes oil at some 2500-3000 km from maximum to minimum, is that normal for those effects or is it a problem?

  • Hello, I have a problem with the VW pole when we take the key out of the ignition switch of the bulb on the instrument panel, the moments for 2 minutes turn on and make a sound
