• vw polo 1.2 12v 2002 mk4 - rough start problem from a vw polo 12 Dec 2012 (Forum)
  I bought a 2002 mk4 vw polo 1.2 12v, everytime ( cold or hot ) I start  the engine, in the 1st 30 seconds, it revs itself up and down and dies out, I have to put my foot on gas to keep it running. But after about 30 seconds it runs normal. The engine faulty warning light keeps on all the time. I took the car to my local vw dealer, after spent £300 to replace the mapping sensor and cleaned the throttle body, it was as same as before, so they suggested that it should be ( 80% sure ) caused by the faulty throttle body housing ( costs £500 for the new part alone ).
