Featured Replies

I have a mk3 polo 1.3, it started fine before and all I've done is fitted my ss manifold and i was going to a Fahrvergnugen Tuning chip I've just bought but when i went to fit it it already had a poloace chip and now it fires but doesnt start and backfires, iv checked everything over and over, any ideas?
