VW Polo engine cut-out

My P reg vw polo keeps cutting out straight away after starting my journey when left for long periods (e.g when driving to work in the morning after being left over night). This keeps happening until I have gathered enough speed then after that it is fine even when I am stopped. Any suggestion will be grateful.

My vw polo keeps cutting out. when it slows down

try cleaning your battery terminals and tightening them. if that doesnt solve the problem your battery or alternator may be dying, some auto parts stores will do a charging system check for free that will tell you if one or the other is bad.

VW POLO V REG keeps cutting out engine sounds rough and there is no power on acceleration.

on the fuel injection rail there's a little round silver vacume thingy put your tumb on it and push whilst some one starts the car. that is if this happends when you start the car and when you try to press the accelerator the car cuts out. i have a '00 polo and this happened me! hopefully this helps.:-)
