I bought a new Volkswagen Polo SEL 1.6 CR/DPF 90PS 5-speed manual in November 2010. It now has 1,500 miles on the clock. It stalled at a junction soon after I bought it, then a few months later the engine cut out three times on a journey when driving at a slow speed appropriate to the traffic conditions. On inspection at the Volkswagen garage they admitted there were faults and fitted: 1) A new engine ECU. 2) A new throttle body. 3) A new exhaust pressure sensor. 4) A new boost pressure sensor. 5) Repaired wiring to turbo and sensors.

After the works were carried out, the car stalled again turning into a station car park and I returned the car to the garage. It was tested again and no faults were found. The mechanic then drove a similar model and the same thing occurred to him when driving at a low speed. I have now been told to adjust my driving technique, as these models are so fuel-efficient. However it stalled again yesterday when driving up to a junction. I would welcome your comments, please.
