Re: problem with my polo gti
Guy, before some one on here posts something stupid, this is a aircooled forum. Unless your car has a type 1 or 4 aircooled VW engine then you probably wont find much help here.
I would suggest finding someone with an OBD II reader and seeing what error codes your car is throwing, look for them on line and you will most likely find out what is wrong....

From fastest to slowest:
Birkin race car, not much is standard
Lotus Elise 111R, almost everything is standard
'75 SP 1600 with a few mods
B8 A4 Avant tdi, towing made easy

Re: problem with my polo gti
I actually did type up a snarky reply, but decided to be nice 
Boost leak,Clogged catlytic converter be my guesses. But yeah best get it to a code reader and see from there.
http://www.vwclubsa.co.za could all probably help.
Good luck. On and remember to always let the terrrbo to warm up before driving hard, and cooling down before switching off. Those turbos seem to die 70K km deaths...
