Instrument Needle Sweep - 2015 Polo GTI

[Pologti15]

Hi,

I have a 2015 Polo GTI. Over the past few months it has an intermittent issue where by it takes about 5 secs of the starter turning over before it starts.

I am trying to work out what causes it to happen as it is intermittent.

Should I be waiting for the Instrument Needle Sweep to be completed before I attempt to start the vehicle ? Or can I turning the key all the way and start the engine prior to the Instrument Needle Sweep being completed.

Thanks

Looks like you’re low on fuel in one video. If you regularly let it get that low then you might have dirty injectors.
