The problem with them is the hall sender is built into the dizzy, if i remember right.
I had a similar problem when i owned a 1991 Passat GT 16v years ago, my father-in-law fixed it once, but it died eventually, a new dizzy solved it.

Will let u know about spares mate, cheers for the offer :) wil no doubt need something.

Yeah, think a new dizzy will be the way forward. £65 for a recon one at ECP and GSF if u give them ur old one.

Touch wood it will fix it, and then back to the R32 Mk3. lol

Cheers mate for the advise. If this fails, will just have to drop an ABF in it, as they are amazing so i hear in the mk3 section ;)

Errrmmmmmm........let me think!?

Mike here,

Changed teh Dizzy today for one from ECP. Got it at a discount as they only had the more expensive bosch one in stock. Changed that with the cap and arm. Set it all up and it runs like a dream. Also was a good chance to check over the cambelt when we set up the timing etc.

Runs perfectly, getting happier and more impressed with this little polo, maybe its not as bad as first thought.

Onto the lowering springs in the next few weeks, and maybe some G60 steels...

Cheers guys :)
