VW Polo 1.4 will not start
Hello
I am hoping to purchase a secondhand 1999 VW Polo 1.4, petrol, manual for my son to drive.
When we went to look at the car it would not start. The engine fires perfectly, runs for 2 to 4 seconds and then stops.
Sounds to me like a problem with the engine management system and could be a crankshaft position sensor or crankshaft speed sensor problem.
I do not know the VW engine system.
Has any one had similar problems?
