Polo AAU spluttering
« on: 19 March 2014, 09:12 »
Hi All,

The breadvan is broken. I've gotten an airbox for it now as I thought that would solve my issue - it hasn't.

Basically it starts first time almost every time lol but as it starts to get warm the revs get lower and lower it splutters and then eventually dies, sometimes starts back up, sometimes doesn't.

Also i'm not getting a temperature reading on the dash and some of the hoses don't get hot! I thought it could be the thermostat but I have taken it out and popped it into some boiling water and it opens up. It does look shoddy but it works.. is it worth replacing?


Cheers for any help guys!

I would check the fuel stop solinoid is working properly on the card. Put 12v to it and it shud click.

Cheers, i'll give that a shot. I'm also going to check every wire and connection and clean the whole thing up as it's just a mess in there :grin:
