    nomadx38: Had that happen to the car a couple of years ago. Exact same thing as what happened to you (car seemed fine, then going up a hill it failed and I had to pull over). It was different to what happened that time, but it could be the same thing come back.

    gavs: That sounds like something that would happen with my car. Hell, just about everything else that could go wrong with the Polo HAS gone wrong with mine, so why not that

    nomadx38: All recalls/Service Campaigns as of August last year have been applied to my vehicle. As far as I know the only outstanding campaign is the oil change for the DSG, which was late last year. Not to mention numerous other 'fixes' to keep the car semi-running.

    Hey Guys,

    A bit of an update on my car. Turns out there was a problem with the ignition lead again which was causing misfiring in piston 1. So the lead had to be replaced.
    But the dealer also found that there was an issue with the ECU. So a new ECU had to be ordered and installed.

    Thankfully VW covered all fixes as 'good will' and it didn't cost me anything. We have since decided that there is no way keeping the Polo is economical or sustainable (not only from a money perspective but from a time and convenience perspective as well) so we traded it in and bought ourselves a wonderful Mazda.

    To beonest we are glad to see the back of VW. The entire experience has been a total nightmare.
