Hey all,

Came across the forum while searching for answers to an issue with my polo.
I recently purchased a used 2013 Polo TDI, which I’ve had for about 6 weeks now. Seemed to be running fine until this week, where it’s started hunting at idle.
I’m not very familiar with TDIs or diesels in general, so I’m not sure where to start with this one.

It only does it shortly after leaving home in the morning or driving home in the afternoon. So usually the first set of lights I stop at less than 5min from home. Then it doesn’t do it again for the rest of the drive.
Short clip on YouTube via the link below. It has no audio, but shows the rpm.

Thanks,
Martin
