UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I have a 1.2 polo Tsi bought from vw, 2 years ago still has years warranty left so far it's had 2
turbos, one water pump, injectors and now has one of these faults again , EPC light on again
anyone else suffering with any similar issues?????

Had mine since last September, so far nothing has gone wrong.

First i've heard of any problems with the 1.2 TSi. Personally i've not had any issues, mine's running like a dream after 18,000 miles.

I picked up my Polo 1.2 TSI about 2 weeks ago, been running like a beaut. Only thing is it revs quite alot when i start it then settles down to 500 rpm a couple seconds later. (doesn't sound that elegant)
Also, what combined fuel economy do you get when sitting on the motorway at 65/70 mph? I get between 45-48 mpg when i thought it should do 53??

Theirs a recall for the turbo problem according to a post I read on seatcupra.net

You car is brand new. It will take a few 1000 miles to get better fuel economy...

There's not a recall on the Turbo. VW contacted me and I took mine in and all it requires is a spacer fitting onto the pipe going into the turbo (excuse my mechanical know-how).
