What does the flashing glow plug light on the Volkswagen Polo moa mean?
Years 2017-2025

Answer

The flashing of the glow plug light on your Volkswagen Polo before starting the engine is completely normal, it indicates that the engine does not start cranking until the glow plug cycle is completed. If, on the other hand, the glow plug light flashes for 60 seconds after starting or while driving, the glow plugs are worn or dirty and should be checked.
