Uneven driving behavior and possibly faulty door contact signal in the 2017 Polo

Hey guys, I need some advice. My Polo (2017 model, diesel, a good 48000km on it) has recently started to drive unevenly and jumps a bit too much for my liking. Unfortunately, I had a few problems during my last visit to the garage and now suspect that it may be due to the faulty door contact signal. Have any of you had similar experiences, both with the condition of the car and with the workshop? I would be very happy to hear your tips.

Hey, I recently had a similar problem with my Golf (2014 model, diesel). In my case, it was a problem with the shock absorbers that led to the bumpy ride. It wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't too bad either as it was solved. So the fault with the door contact signal could be a misjudgment, but I'm not a mechanic. Have you been to the garage? Maybe the guys should take another look at it.

Hey, thanks for your reply. Interesting that you mention the shock absorbers. I wouldn't have thought about that. Do you happen to remember how much the repair cost? And did you have another problem afterwards? Maybe I really should go back to the mechanic and have it checked.

Hey, don't worry, I think you can get your Polo running again. After I went to the mechanic, the faulty signal from the door contact was fixed. I didn't have any more problems after that. When it comes to the cost... In my case, it was around €55 because the fuse was faulty. Fortunately, it wasn't too expensive. I think it's definitely worth having it checked before it causes even bigger problems.

Hey, that sounds like a pretty straightforward solution. Thanks for the tip. That takes me a bit further. I'll take my Polo back to the garage and ask them to check the shock absorbers. 52 really isn't a bad price considering what could have happened. Thanks for the reassurance, my nerves were already a bit frayed. I will keep you posted.
