My car 'conked out' on the way home - I was towed home. 2 auto-electic
people have said the key is not sending the code to the immobiliser and
the fuel is not allowed to flow. I have replaced the ignition coil yet it
still does not work. turn key in ignition and starter motor turns yet then
stops - no fuel!?' I am told I need a pin number/pin code to access and
reset. I have tried the main dealers to obtain this code who only suggest
car to be transported to them, by them, and fixed. I cannot afford this -
its been 3 weeks now. Any suggestions? (in the nicest possible way!!

Don't know much about Polos ,They are not sold here. but I imagine a diesel
Polo has a fuel start solenoid on the injector pump like other VW diesels.
It turns the fuel on and off. You should be able to jump from the battery to
the solenoid and see if its not getting voltage from where it is supposed
too. I keep a wire in my glovebox for just such an occasion.

Also try your other keys! Couldn't hurt and I think I have heard that this
may work if your current key is malfunctioning with the immobilizer!

I will ASSuME that you have fuel in the tank. ;-)

Are you sure the problem lies in the immobilizer?

Try adjusting the immobilizer's antenna orientation, or have someone hold
the antenna with their bare hand to increase the range (human antenna).
Perhaps it's just not picking up the RF signal?
