2001 Volkswagen Polo SE review from UK and Ireland
"A number of faults, some very serious, noting VW's claim of safety and reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine keeps cutting out when driving.
Faulty alarm system.
Interior paneling came loose.
General comments?
Very dangerous fault with the car which VW seem reluctant to address. It occurs in a number of circumstances including dual carriageways. Service department appears to guess at what is wrong. Problem brought to VW's attention 2 months ago. The fualt still occurs and little is being done to remedy the problem.
