Operation: What to do if you run out of AdBlue?

In this video, our YouTuber gives us some indications on what to do if we run out of AdBlue: first of all, DO NOT turn off the car because then the system will prevent us from restarting it. We must go to the nearest workshop, where with the diagnostic system (and of course the addition of the additive), they can restart the vehicle, clearing the fault. If the car slows down, there is no need to worry: it has simply entered recovery mode, but this does not cause any damage to the mechanics, because AdBlue is an external system. If the car is already turned off, let's give it a try and try to refuel the AdBlue: maybe ours is one of the (rare) vehicles that can start again without resetting the error. Otherwise, we will have to call the workshop, which will have to come with the diagnostic tool to unlock the car. But the best system is still to never run out of AdBlue!

How to reset the TPMS light of the Volkswagen Polo 2011

The orange tire light indicates the presence of one or more tires with an inflation pressure below the recommended limit. All this is easily solved by inflating them correctly or replacing them in the event of a puncture. After carrying out these operations it is necessary to reset the warning light and therefore also the sensor in order to have new reading data. All you have to do is start the car ignition and then fully open the glove compartment on the passenger side. Locate the two buttons in the right corner and press "Set". At this point the reset is complete and you can turn off the ignition.
