2011 Polo not start when parked in the sun

Post by hussein »

2011 Polo hatch that does not start when parked in the hot sun for an extended period. it cranks but does not start. but if you wait around 30 secs, then it starts up as normal. otherwise car runs perfect. No fault codes are picked up anywhere. No warning lights come on. happens irrespective of engine temp. with no fault codes where do u even start?

at the same place 100's of these questions come to. Always replace the water temp sensor first .
