mk1super Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Ok i know this isnt ford or old skool but i was wondering if theres anything you can do to fire up a vw 1.4 tdi polo with a knackered crank sensor?
mk1super Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 Basically a bodge to get me mate home as he didnt join the AA or Rac lol
sab6024 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Posted September 11, 2008 Pudge says depending on the year and whether it has a Bosch or Seimens system. The Bosch won't fire but Seimens will eventually, but it'll run like a bag of crap But nip down you local VW dealer for that crank sensor
mk1super Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Posted September 11, 2008 It was working ok before but every so often did this when cold weather was about. Its a 53 reg if thats any help?

Durham Fiesta Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 and people call old cars for reliability. At least if the fiesta breaks down 95% of things can be fixed with a hammer and a 13mm spanner
