VW Polo Won't Start and Stalls at Traffic Lights

I own a 2003 VW Polo with 124,403 km on it and I'm experiencing some issues. The engine turns over but won't start. Additionally, I've noticed a loss of engine power and it recently stalled at traffic lights, after which I couldn't get it to start again. What could be causing these problems and how can I fix them?

Possible causes include a weak battery or poor connections, and issues with the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or failing fuel pump. Suggested solutions involve checking and securing the battery connections and inspecting the fuel system components.

Start by checking the battery and its connections to ensure they are clean and secure, as a weak battery can cause starting issues. If the battery is fine, inspect the fuel system, including the fuel pump and fuel filter, as a clogged filter or failing pump can lead to power loss and stalling. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!
