I already have my suspicion on this but I need second, third etc opinions.

The 1.0 I sold my uncle has decided to quit. It ran fine when I drove it up and the first couple days his company was using it, but now it's "dead" to use his description. The starter will run and run, but the engine doesn ...

have had this problem ever since i changed the tank 2 years ago

tried:-
new cap,rotor,plugs etc

seems to only do it when car starts getting warm. when it does it, it nearly puts you through the screen!!

Do the injection units give trouble?

As you have had the problem since fitting ...

checked the oil its black water looks clear.
this was not there when i serviced it in September.

Also i only do short trips in the car live i mile from work and do a couple a miles when we take the ...

Forgot to say it has had a new battery aswell. Cant understand it most of the time it starts on the button first click then it happens but bumps straight away looks like it will be trial and era replacing thing till its sorted

The fact that it starts on a bump is a puzzle. Bump starting reduces ...

Here goes right i have a h reg 1043cc polo coupe that will start fine for a few days then nothing! It will turn over but not fire up? Few week back this started with a miss fire aswell so i replaced the dizzy cap and arm which has cured the miss fire but not the starting problem. The car will bump ...

The SPI have a coolant warmed inlet manifold, with an electric pre-heater that looks like a hedgehog. I've never seen or heard of carb icing symptoms on an injection car, and I ran the original AAV SPI engine in my Polo for a few winters without the warm air feed with no problems.

I'm with Dan on ...

Unlike a lot of people on forums. I don't tend to buy parts without diagnosing a problem.

Is the warm air hose on, intact, and the exhaust shroud corrosion free (standard culprit for carb icing)?
How's your service history?
When you say it won't start, guessing that it's still turning over ok ...

my mk2 did this for a while, stopped the car, it stalled and then wouldn't start for bout 30 mins, when i had a check under the bonnet there was no fuel in the fuel filter, i had a check of all the hoses and things and then fuel just rushed through into the filter, did it when i moved the air box ...

when you say new dizzy, do you mean youve replaced the distributor itself or the cap? Sounds to me like classic symptoms of a dodgy hall sender on the distributor. (new distributor or new hall sender time)

changed the lot used new cap and rotor but used dizzy from scappy. I thought it was hall ...

I have recently obtained a 1.1 single point inj mk3. It starts first time and will then run for a couple of days without problem. It will then stall and refuse to start. Leave it a few hours and it starts again.
Has new dizzy, rotor and fuel filter. It has no fault codes stored on the ECU. I have ...
