Right i've got a Polo GTI 6N2 and it's been stood since April doing nothing, so i now want it back on the road. Because its been sitting so long the Battery's died so i've changed the Battery, plugs, coil and Leads but still the car won't fire into life! basically if i leave it for 10/15 mins and then turn the key to the position that the fuel pump primes, wait for the buzzing to stop and then attempt fo fire the engine it starts and revs to 3k then just dies, if i try and start it again all thet happen is the starter motor turning the engine over but nothing else! any ideas? should i change the fuel filter? i just want to start using it now and has never missed a beat in 2 years! help!

 

Ive had a Corrado G60 stood in the corner of the garage for nearly 2 years now ....Just got round to getting it fixed and running over the weekend and just got it taxed and tested and had a run out in it tonight ......Forgot how much fun it was....lol

Id check the fuel pump is still running ok if not try the fillter as if its been stood low on fuel it could have pulled a load of crap though from the tank...

 

u sure the imoboliser is not kicking in??

 

Cheers for the reply all i get from the VW forums is get the code reader out! like i have one sitting around and with not being able to start it how the f*ck can i get it to a garage! it's gotta be something simple cos it was fine before hand!

 

would the imoboliser let it fire at all? it's only on the standard alarm?

 

were abouts are u in kent mate??
Im in lingfield and work for vw so can "borrow" the fault reader!

 

yer normal the imboliser will let it fire then it cuts in afew seconds later!
all new ish vw's do it!

 

Sevenoaks just off the M25! would be awesome if you're nearby!

 

ill have a look how far it is whats ur postcode pm it 2 me if u dont want it on here!

 

Had the same issue on mine and it turned out to be the alarm. Just kept cutting out after a min of so.

Now its all up a running, gave it a run in and service and made sure it perfect. Now I just got to work out what I want to do with it. Does anyone know of any modifications you can do to them without changing the engine? Or where you can get the parts from...

Checked the internet and there is not about...

 

thanks guys - bbspolo has kindly offered to come along with the diagnostic machine which is much appreciated!

I dunno what you want looks wise but i've got Porsche 7*16 and 8*16 inch design 90's (ebay) with adaptors (Gwent VW), FK Coilovers (Venom) and some Porsche 997 Turbo brakes (ebay - not put on yet need to get discs and adaptor mounts!) i'll get some pics up once i get it cleaned!

 

Tell me about it, every time its "oh just VAG-COM it", like everyones got the £300 software and a laptop in their gararge.
