No acceleration

Post by Lucyno3 »

Hi folks need some help- and I'm not a car person so please bear with me.

I have a 2003 Polo ( love it). around 191, 000 miles. Runs really well- EXCEPT: lately it has developed a problem where it will start but no acceleration at all. The RAC fixed it the first time by spraying something into a valve ( ?) in the engine. Next time it happened it was towed to my garage - however by the time it got there the problem had sorted itself out. This has happened two further times. It happened again on Friday but RAC wont attend. We towed it around a car park to see if it would resolve but it didn't. Will have it towed to the garage but could do with some guidance as to where to begin. Ie mechanic says it could be anything from the pedal to the valve ( ?).... anyone else had this? any advice gratefully recieved
