SOURCE: VW Polo Classic, fuel efficiency problem

Has the car been serviced recently?
If not I would suggest getting it done.Not sure if you have diesel or petrol, but oil can thicken causing more load on the motor and airfilters get blocked and can cause a rich fuel mixture.

If petrol you can take out the plugs to check if they are a light brown colour, if very dark or black you need to check and adjust carb/injection settings/filter.Need to know what engine it is really.

check the cable connectors from the throttle body.the one near the left side of the throttle hose is the most faulty.unplug the connector fill the terminals with wd40 and look for corroded pins

VW Jetta fan, wipers, headlights work until engine starts. Then they do not always function.

I would suspect you have a defective ignition starter switch, this is the main switch the the ignition key cylinder operates and it powers up the while electrical system,. It is under the steering column covers.

2006 Polo Classic engine doesn't cut out when key is turned

this means you have feed back going into the ignition circuit or power flowing have you installed a remote start? to find out which circuits are causing the issue pull one fuse out at a time when the car keeps running this will give you a starting point it could be a stuck relay to wires melted together make sure the key is off when pulling the fuses

Overheating Polo

this sounds like a thermostat fault, but also could be the sensor switch to the radiator but is more likely the thermostat, it should be located at the front top of engine, follow the top water hose to the engine and you will find the thermostat housing, also just a heads up, these had a problem when first made, according to the known fixes and problems with VW's the hoses corroded inside and started loosing water, this could be wise to get the system presure checked to...hope this helps

Hi, Try turning on blower, set to warmest setting.

If the blower is blowing cold air, the problem could be Water Pump needs replacing!

VW Polo Classic 1.6 Radiator fan not going on

Try moving the fan blades by hand to see if the fan spins freely to see if the problem is frozen bearings in the fan motor. Replace the fan motor if it doesn't turn. If it spins freely disconnect the wires and hook the fan directly to the battery using a jumper. If it runs the problem is most likely the thermostatic switch. If it doesn't the fan motor is bad.
