Volkswagen Polo fuel emission warning lamp

Car: Volkswagen Polo
Variant: 1.2
Model Year: 2003
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Fuel emission warning lamp light comes on while driving. When car stops and then you try to restart car the engine will not start. The engine is hard to turn over and may take half an hour to get going. The dealer has changed the speed sensor and cleaned out the throttle but problem has persisted.

the car needs to have the ECU data looked at. there is a possibility of the EGR valve sticking and or the idle control valve. would recomend you to have it looked at by an independant garage though as some dealers only try to fix symptoms not find causes. hope this helps!!
