Why did the particle filter warning light come on in the Volkswagen Polo?
Years 2017-2025

Answer

In the Volkswagen Polo, the illumination of the particulate filter warning light indicates that it is clogged. This car is able to clean the filter autonomously, a procedure that can be recognized by an evident increase in rpm and which must never be interrupted by switching off the engine. In the event of a serious blockage, we will instead have to carry out a manual cleaning in the workshop.
