Car stalling

[mogo1543]

Hi, I have a problem with my car, when I ride to somewhere my car sometimes doesn't respond to accelerator pedal and if I insert to the neutral, motor shut off and when I want start engine it takes time and starts on 5-6 attempt. I have electric powered throttle and accelerator pedal, I tried clean throttle and adjust her via VCDS and it doesn't help. Any ideas what I should to try?

How about more details about the car, like make and model. mileage, any check engine lights come on?

Sorry, it's vw polo 6n2 1.4 44kw, no check engine light and diagnostic shows nothing.

we don't get polos in the states, so I'm curious which engine you have, which transmission, and which model year for your car.

....because my first thought was "I wonder if he has a 2019 or 2020 GTI or GLI" and, ...uh-oh.

well, you have the smaller engine (I think all Polos do?), but if it's a 2019/2020, you might have the dreaded stall that effected mostly NA GTIs and GLIs for 2019. (very few reports from the EU stock, but those cars are also built in Germany with different power ratings than what we get over here)

How is the stall happening? Does it take a while for the car to warm up, and then eventually it just soft stalls as you slow down to a stop, like you didn't even notice it until you try to get back on the throttle to start? Does it stall when in neutral--either by gearbox or with clutch down?

Umm it is polo 2000 year model 6n2 it happening when I drive long distance 30 and more km and then my car doesnt respond to accelerator pedal and if i insert gearbox to neutral or i press clutch down car stalls and if i immediately try start engine it won't start i must wait a short time maybe 3minutes and then car starts without any problem.
