hello

got a bit of a problem..got a 2000 reg polo 1.4 that was sat for almost 7 months before i was able to drive it again ..I've had it serviced and its gone through mot but I've noticed it isnt going past 3000 revs meaning its not going over 70 on the motorway..everythin g else seems to work fine .. any clues ??

Welcome..

it sounds like on lip mode.. any warning lights on the dash?

airbag light is on and occasionally the abs light comes on too but it got through mot like that ad i was told it was just a loose wire in the seatbelt..the engine manegment light hasnt come on though

it shouldn't have passed the MOT if it had the Airbag and/or the ABS light on it.. but anyway that's a different thing.

I would try and get it hooked up to some diagnostic kit. and see if that sheds any light on it.

70 is the speed limit on the motorway, why would you want to go any faster its almost like a crude cruise control.

That's what I was thinking, you'd have been better not mentioning that & just saying it won't go over 3k

mine was having trouble dude with going over 70 just felt like it had nothing left in it but i changed the blue temp sensor only about £7 run it for a couple of days to run it in and it worked a treat before that i was told to check the ignition timing the lambda sensor even the dzzy but the temp sensor controls how much fuel goes into the engine when its hot or cold give that a whirl bud as i said it worked for me
