Polo 1.6 2004 9N strange issue

Post by FerdinandBabst »

Hi. I have a Volkswagen Polo 2004 1.6 9N. My car only starts with clutch pedal engaged in 1st or 3rd gear. Wont start in Neutral or any other gear with Clutch in or out

Any ideas welcome

That's a hectic coincidence.

Does it crank but not start or does it not even crank?

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on :driving:

It cranks and starts no problem. Drives as well although it shudders at little. Idling is good but randomly cuts out.

Get it checked out at a mechanic. That's a really weird issue.

Epc light is meant to be on until engine starts.
