What to do when the particulate warning light on Golf 7 comes on?
Years 2012-2019

Answer

Sometimes it may happen that the particulate filter of your car can be clogged; for this reason there is a warning light on the dashboard of your car for this problem, otherwise the on-board computer has detected that the oil in your vehicle has been excessively contaminated by diesel. In this case it is of fundamental importance to proceed without hesitation to replace the engine oil, an operation that you will have to carry out at the first filling station you will find on the road.
