What are the reasons for the Polo starter not responding?
2 Answers
Polo starter not responding, one situation is that the battery is dead, and another situation is that the starter is broken. The car starter can convert the electrical energy of the battery into mechanical energy, driving the engine flywheel to rotate to achieve engine starting. Although the starters used in different types of cars vary in form, their DC motor parts are basically similar, with the main differences lying in the transmission mechanism and control device. The Polo is a model under Shanghai Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 3970mm in length, 1682mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2470mm. In terms of appearance, the Polo is dynamic and fashionable, especially the headlights, and the LED side turn signals are also relatively mainstream configurations. The Volkswagen Polo has a relatively heavy body and good safety.
When my Polo's starter suddenly stopped working, the first thing that came to mind was a battery issue—possibly low charge or aging, especially during cold winter starts. Next was the key system, like a dead key battery or faulty ignition switch, which could cause signal transmission failure. The starter itself might also be jammed or burnt out, requiring checks on the relay and wiring. A blown fuse could interrupt the current too. Poor or corroded wiring connections shouldn’t be overlooked, as bad grounding or relay issues could also be the culprit. Every time this happens, I first test the battery voltage to ensure it’s above 12V. If nothing works after some effort, I head to a professional repair shop to avoid delays—after all, unresolved starter problems can lead to bigger troubles and disrupt daily life.
