6n2 GTI running poop

hi guys n gurls,

bought my self a polo gti few weeks ago, drove home lovely (a 3hr treck), few days later started running like there was a kangaroo under the bonnet, the car didnt get warm at all on the gage even after a good 20-30min drive.

had a new temperature coolent sensor fitted but still wasnt good so the guys fitted a crank sensor as well as this also came up on the diagnostics, had new plugs n leeds n an air filter.

was told to run it for a bit n c how i got on but its still running poop, after about 15min run its drives lovely but b4 that its awful, powerless n kangeroos wen i put my foot down, very embarrasing! and is sill not showing its getting hot on the temp gage?

if any1 can help id b grateful so i can start enjoying my new car

thanks.

Have you posted this on clubpolo.co.uk?

Im sure someone on there will be able to help. Theres alot of 6n2 gti owners on there.

sounds a bit like thermostat to me...

not sure why it'd be runnin poo tho...

yep posted on club polo as well, few pple have commented bak, been quite helpful, they think its a temp issue as well n told me to make sure its getting hot, just got a haynes so i can find my way around a bit better as im no a mechanic lol

i think i do need a thermostat but i didnt think it wud effect the running either?

thermo wont upset the running and should still get warm if broken!

mate had same prob wid his turned out to be the AMF sensor on the inlet, the breather pipe covered it in sh1te,

Im sorry to hear your GTI is running like poo im not sure what the problem could be sorry. i really hope you get it fixed
p.s. you should have bought my car it would have saved you a 3 hour trek lol

it works fine now thanks to my talent, (and her dads)

yeah polo is all good now just needs her cambelt fitting, the 3 hr trip was good fun n plus i got a good dealio concidering its a black 3dr, not in gr8 condition but perfect for my project!
