2007 Volkswagen Polo TDI 1.9 'AXR' diesel SOHC 8v turbo

Faults:

The rear window demister stopped working, fixed immediately under warranty.

General Comments:

It is a very good family and economy hatchback.

Handling is above class average, let down by the cheap and nasty Continental ContiEcoContact economy rubber.

The 240Nm (177ftlb) torque hit at 1800rpm is excellent. And the economy (1000km to a tank) cannot be flawed.

Great car, but not one for a performance enthusiast.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

My car just switched off. No electrical power to the dashboard, but do have power supply up to the dashboard. Absolutely every electrical part failed at once. VW SA can't diagnose my car for two days now and this is really mind bogling. I started to drive and turned into a parking space and it just cut out on me. All the gauges just froze where they were and are still in those positions.

If there is some one with any info about this problem, please help!
