Why did the engine malfunction light turn on in the Volkswagen Polo?
Years 2009-2017

Answer

If the engine malfunction light has turned on in the dashboard of our Volkswagen Polo, it means that a malfunction has been detected in the corresponding control module, fuel system, or exhaust system. Since this is a generic warning, it is recommended to have a check-up at the workshop even if there are no specific symptoms.
