Volkswagen Polo cuts out when accelerating
Variant: 1.4
Model Year: 2002
Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Revs drop for a second when on motorway or accelerating.
Usually happens once every few hundred miles, but has happened 3 times in last few days - a bit worrying when you're in the outside lane!
Wondered if water was somehow getting into the fuel - any ideas?

Hi - sounds like it might be your HT leads. I've had similar problems in the past, when you goto accelerate it feels like a loss of power for a second and then the car jumps into life.
