Polo Engine not Turning but it runs!???!?!?!? Bizzare and help needed
 

Hi I have a 1.0 litre polo (1999) model and I try to start the ignition but all the interior lights come on and the dash lights but the engine does not turn, it doesnt even make a noise. But as I had it towed home I cheekly tried to start the car and it came to life and I was able to drive home. As soon as i came home i tried to re-start the car and again i had the same problem, so i thought it may be the battery. As a final resort i tried jump leads and starting the car this way but this also did not turn the engine. So what could be the problem

thanks

Starter or starter solenoid if they are separate.

I have the exact same problem. Have you managed to fix this? is there some kind of work around?

VW Polo will not turn over. All of a sudden 1 day will not start when the key is turned. All lights come on, will not start with jump leads. Turn the ignition and with the bonnet open i can hear a buzz for 2 seconds then a click and nothing. Car starts fine with a bump start.
