VW Polo - Polo cutting out when parking - njs1999
Hello

Wondering if anyone can advise.

Bought a W reg VW polo approx 2 months ago and after a while, it cut out a couple of times when under load, i.e. hard steering.

I had the alternator changed under warranty and all seemed fine until this morning, when i pulled in to a parking space and engine cut out again.

Called RAC out and they ran diag tests on it and couldn't find anything wrong with it. The tested alternator and battery and said they were fine. They were at a loss.

It only seems to happen now when I turn left in to a car parking space, I.e. Slowing to a stop and steering left. Also, the car will take a while to start on the odd occasion.

Thanks in advance
