I have a 2012 1.2 mpi polo highline which has run only 48000 kms and has again developed engine issue. Its EPC light is on and its engine and body is rattling and shaking like crazy. Last time it happened it had run 32k kms. Had got all 3 ignition plugs, spark plugs and the entire set changes for 10k approx then. So, got it to volkswagen service station, the engineer said that he'll have to check if there's a compression issue. He asked me to submit my car for 3 days. If there's a compression issue, then we'll have to change the entire engine set which will cost me somewhere around 25-30k. And 3 days for checking the issue and what if engine has to be replaced? another 30 days! I mean people buy cars to park in garage or what? I used to think that if you get your vehicle serviced in time at authorised service stations, it wouldn't give any problem. Thats true for Maruti & Hyundai cars as per my experience but not with this metal junk Volkswagen polo. Imagine what kind of a car would develop engine problems after running merely 48k kms and timely serviced every single time at authorised service stations only? doubting if I had a bad luck that i got a lemon, I enquired several indian car websites and to my surprise found many similar cases with this product. Buying a volkswagen thinking of german engineering and safety proved to be a curse. Now I'm stuck with this lemon, can't even sell it off worrying what the person who buys it from me later discovers all this would think of me that I duped him/her. its as good as a scrap now. I have already prevented 4 of my friends from buying volkswagen products. So, I advice you gentlemen and ladies even to think a thousand times before buying a volkswagen.

Final Words Engine malfunciton
1st time, Elite Bangalore service(Aug/2016). Traveled KM is 3231 when the indication came.
2nd time, Car towing by road assistance(that time I am a vacation with family). The car reached to PPS Motors Hyderabad service station(13/Oct/2016), they find the issue and replaced with new sensors. They took some long trip for testing. they return the car(31/Oct/2016). Traveled KM is 5634 when the indication came.
3rd time, I visited the Elite Bangalore service station(4/Nov/2016). They have returned the car in a week. Traveled KM is 6360 when the indication came.
So if you want to keep face the problems with your car go ahead and buy. Keep visiting the service center.
Areas of improvement I failed the case on VW.
I Posting to VW about the problem, they blocked me on Twitter and they will delete the problem comments(NOT ONLY MINE, THEY DELETED OTHER COMMENTS AS WELL). Instead of solving my problem.

Exterior Looks classic.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Classic.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox When speed comes below 15kmpl i have shift gear to first.
In city I am getting: 13-15 km/l. On Round: max i am getting 19.9kmpl. I go spped in between 80km/hr to 100 km/hr on long run. I use cruse control on long road. After tank full i have drived 570 Km still i can go 240 km. That is around 18 KM/hr in city + on long run.
Ride Quality & Handling: Fine Quality of metal. super. When you go faster spped it will spoil the car engine. I have not taken my car for the first service untill now. Next month i have to take.Have to check service cost. Once I have taken car for general checkup . the enginner said the car is in perfect condition.
Final Words: 11months completed i have travelled around 11000 km. no problem untill know. If you want better millage go at speed beteen 80-100 on long run. When you go faster spped it will spoil the car engine. I have not taken my car for the first service untill now.
Next month I have to take.Have to check service cost. Once I have taken car for general checkup . the enginner said the car is in perfect condition.
Areas of improvement When speed comes down it should have some pickup at second gear.
Performance and millage is goodNo faster pickup when the speed is below 15km/hr when in second or third gear.Exterior/Styles

Volkswagen selling the new cars with the old engine, this job done by service center itself. And if you post your problems in twitter they will block your account(check the below screenshot) its shame to Volkswagen. 3 times same issue in 7 months and 6360KM and ENGINE LEAKING I brought the new car(POLO Highline petrol) in end of March(They did home delivery on 2nd April), from PPS motors Tirumalagiri, Hyderabad. They delivered an old engine in the new car, the same issue 3 times and engine leakage I filed a case on Volkswagen (July 2017), the head office does not have any documents(If they had why they are not submitting in Consumer court). Because it's manufactured by the service center.
