Polo Vivo – poor starting
1
This is the 10th VW sedan that I have bought. This Polo was purchased new in May 2015. Within the first week I informed Alpine, that when I start the car in the mornings, it back fires. I was told to bring the car in so that could have a look. After a couple of days I was told that there is nothing wrong with the car. I have taken the car back to Alpine 3 times and every time I am told that there is nothing wrong. I have now traveled 12, 300 km's. The starting has now got worse. It really sounds like a diesel tractor battling to start on a cold winters morning. I must say this only happens about once every 5 - 7 days. The other days it starts quite normally, but sometimes it would give a back fire once it has started. I have got to the point that I have taken a video of the car when I start in the mornings. What is interesting is that once I have started in the mornings and it battles to start, when I start any other time during that day it starts perfectly. My serious concern is when will this be repaired and I get so annoyed to be told that there is nothing wrong with the car.
