Hi Guys
Have a polo 2007 trendline. And it just came from a service, where among other things, the coil pack and plug leads were replaced.
Now I cant get past 100 km/h even if I floor it. Was hoping for some help from the community before taking it back.
Regards

Re: Car wont accelerate past 100 km/H
Sounds to me like your car is still in limp mode?
I literally had an issue with my coil pack a week or so back - I was running on 3 cylinders for a day or 2. My ECP light was on, and in 5th gear, my car would absolutely NOT break 3000rpm.

Take it back to the place that did the work and let them fix it.
