forsh21 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Hi I've got another related polo question, I know this isn't the the polo forum but I find that I get a better response on here.My sisters polo 1.2 2002 with 66,000 miles as decided to start misfiring, it doesn't cut but gets to a point were its about to. I've included a link with a person who had the same problem, of which he seemed to solve but not sure how he did this.http://www.justanswer.com/uk-car/6v1fa-vw-polo-1-2-2005-55-plate-cyl-keeps-misfiring-intermittently-bringing.htmlAs anyone come across this problem before? I believe the polos have a common fault with these engines.Any advice would be appreciated Cheers Paul Edited January 9, 2013 by forsh21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1cr08472 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 It looks like he claimed to have replaced the coil pack when he hadn't, replacing it fixed his problem. You need to get it scanned and see what fault codes it comes up with then go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forsh21 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I've changed the plugs and also had a fault code come up P0302 Misfire Cyl 2, I've just ordered a set of coilpacks from TPS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Bone94 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Piston ring maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Unlikely, leads and a coil pack should clear it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forsh21 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 If a piston ring had gone would it be burning oil / blue smoking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Bone94 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 If a piston ring had gone would it be burning oil / blue smoking?Yes :/Do a pressure test on all the cylinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forsh21 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Fixed hopefully, New coilpacks fitted, but after reading into what other people have said who had the same problem basically the coilpacks sort the problem out for about a week and then it goes back to misfiring hopefully this won't happen.Did a compression test and got 189psi (cyl 1), 200 psi (cyl 2) and 194 psi (cyl 3) so that to me seems good?

Alex-Bone94 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Compression sounds close to each other so I'd say its sweet dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
