2002 Volkswagen Polo E review from UK and Ireland
"Disappointing reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear screen wash pipe has had to be refitted twice.
Coil blew twice (once at 15,000 again at 28,000). Coil 'mod kit' fitted at 29,000 after complaining to dealer.
Car now feels like its misfiring, but fault is intermittent. Dealer says nothing wrong as engine management panel not reporting anything.
General comments?
The service from the dealer up till now has been good, but my confidence in this car has been shattered.
I'm now seriously considering trading it in, which is disappointing, as I bought Volkswagen under the impression that the cars were reliable and built to last.
