UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi UnsworbwO. I have to say that I gave up on my 1.4Tdi 12 months ago. Despite numerous visits to my local dealer the problem was never solved and I exchanged it for a 1.2 tsi bluemotion. They kept telling me that my car was running correctly! The fuel consumption was terrible at about about 58mpg ...

Hi skymera, thanks for replying.
My journeys vary alot and can be as little as 4 miles on an odd day but generally I would say 10 miles per journey would be fairly common and when I am on the open road speeds of 55-65 mph are usual. At least once a week it has a reasonable run out of about 30-40 ...

Use the pressures that are displayed on the label in the car and in the handbook. If you don't, then I believe you commit an offence. If you are stopped the police can fine you, with point on your licence, and if you're involved in a collision then you face the possibility of your insurance not ...

It's been a while since I posted anything but I am still having problems with my Polo. Over the last year it has been into the local VW dealer 5 times and the fuel pressure sensor, water pump and belt tensioner have been replaced but nothing has changed the problem I have.
Basically some days the ...

Hi jhs2zz I also have a 1.4TDi Bluemotion and have recently had a similar problem. On mine the temperature rose above the normal 90 deg. C then after about 15 minutes dropped back to normal. This only happened occasionally but was definitely not the DPF recycling. My local VW dealer checked it out ...

Still pursuing my poor running issue and the replacement fuel pressure sensor has made little difference. There is a slight improvement on fuel consumption but the idling is still bad. Some days it will idle perfectly at 820 rpm and others it will be really rough at 980 rpm. I have obtained an OBD2 ...

Hi George. I'm sorry I haven't a clue what the cost of a fuel pressure sensor is as mine was changed under warranty. However there has been an improvement since have the new one. However I still seem to have a problem - some days it will idle at about 980 rpm and other days it will be 820 rpm. When ...

Thanks again jammydodger. Yes I do have the 'Think Blue' on virtually all the time and find it a great help. Your figures are very interesting. I have never been able to get my mpg into the 70's what ever I do. On the motorway sticking at 56mph I can just about manage about 64mpg. Not great for a ...

Well what a week. After months trying to convince my local VW dealer that I had a problem I was out driving the other day, when the dash lit up like a Christmas tree, with warning lights. The car was taken to the dealer and after 3 days they decided that the 'FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR' was faulty! This ...

Thanks both for info. However it now appears that occasionally the engine will run smoothly and return good mpg figures. When I start the engine in the morning it will either run at 978rpm in which case it will run roughly all day with the subsequent poor performance, or at 825 rpm in which case it ...

Thanks jammydodger. I'll look into your fuel pressure sensor theory. I just knew it wasn't right, the problem is convincing the VW dealer as by the time I get it there the engine is hot and the idle is perfect. The car starts every time, without a problem, no matter what the outside temperature ...

Hi all, new to the forum. When I start the engine from cold it idles ok for about 30 seconds and then becomes very uneven to the point where it is uncomfortable to sit in the vehicle. Once the engine reaches about 50 deg C it settles down again and is a nice smooth tick-over. My main VW dealer has ...
