Re: Polo vivo struggling to start?
My wife has the same problem with her 2010 polo 1.4i, so does her colleague. Apparently a common issue on vivo and 6r polo. Some say replacing the fuel pump/relay resolves this. Havent tried yet.
Water temp sender makes more sense though...

Re: Polo vivo struggling to start?
Have the car scanned.
..Does it have a rough idle on cold starts and fluctuating temp gauge?
I replaced my temp switch on my vivo, it did not have any non start symptoms.
My error:

This. A colleague had the same issue on her 2013, took Dealer a week to figure out its a relay. Worth a look
Upset the Setup

Strange thing is the relay sits under the steering column, so not sure how the heat affects it?021Daily wrote: This. A colleague had the same issue on her 2013, took Dealer a week to figure out its a relay. Worth a look
Now to make things weirder, Goldwagen will tell you they dont have a fuel pump relay listed for these cars

Re: Polo vivo struggling to start?
Its sits on the right of the engine in the coolant housing. Just below the air guide. You will see the temp switch as its the only part that has an electrical connection. the switch is grey.georgie wrote:Where does the temp switch sit?

Re: Polo vivo struggling to start?
On the right of the engine if you stand in front of it yes. But basically all material describing engine side is as if you were sitting inside the car looking forward thus that making it the left of the engine. Sorry just being pedantic.

Re: Polo vivo struggling to start?
My polo 6 tdi used to do that when its hot it cuts out and u have to wait for the fuel pump relay to cool off before you can start it again then runs a little and stall again wouldnt start when hot. Cold starts no issues same time.did a scan and gave maf error replaced the sensor and the relay no issues for a year now hot or cold. Not sure what maf had to do with the relay heating up maybe just coincidence ek weet nie.

Re: Polo vivo struggling to start?
Good day
It partially solved the problem because it randomly struggles to start but I think I may have to get the original water temp sender unit from the agents,the one I have I bought from Goldwagen.Before I replaced this it was battling to start every day,now it is at least once every 8 weeks.
