    VW Polo on 3 cylinders only

    Guys
    My Polo 2003 was going ok but all of the sudden it start shaking and it is only on 3 cylinders now. Can anybody suggest a good mechanic (place). I've taken it to VW itself before but I found it too expensive, any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Is yours the 1.4?
    Camden GTI always gets good comments up there. Coilpacks maybe the issue.

    Sounds like exactly the same problem I had with my 9N3 GTI. Turned out it was the coil pack for one of the cylinders
