My 1.9 SDI Polo Variant has begun to judder like mad from cold and run fairly rough when warmed up.
It started a couple of weeks after the timing belt, water pump and tensioner were changed by an independant specialist. It's been back four times since and cost me a(nother) packet all to no avail - It's still as bad. The garage, however, says alternately that there's either nothing wrong with it, or that it's nothing to do with the original work they carried out.
I have been advised that it could be the valve timing, pump timing or even a failed dual mass flywheel. The latter could make sense because the clutch and gearbox failed a couple of months before the timing belt change but it was fine until the events described above.
The car is a 2000 model year Y chassis Polo Classic Estate 6K model with and AGP engine which is really a Seat Cordoba Vario in disguise which is why I’ve posted this here. If anyone has any advice or has resolved a similar problem I’d be interested to hear.
