Hello guys
I have a VW Polo, 2002, 1.4, 16v, 55,000 miles on clock.
Recently the engine managment light has come on.The car judders and shakes a lot even when not in gear and i have lost what seems to be quite a lot of power when on dual carraige ways and motorways and it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack trying to find that biting point .The juddering seems to be in a pattern du,du,du,duuhhh,du,du,du,duuhh,du,du,du,duuhh,du,du,du,duuhh.
Im hoping it is somthing to do with the electrical side of things because the light has come on, on the dashboard, because this would be a lot cheaper than forking out for a new head gasket.Does anyone have any idea whats wrong with it before i take it to a mechanic and get ripped off.
Cheers Guys
