Are the rear headlamp bulbs on your Volkswagen Polo blown? Here’s how to change them from inside the lamp. Open the boot lid, then remove the trim on the side of the boot.

Unscrew the fastening screws located at the side of the lamp (plastic). Disconnect the rear lamp from its housing once all screws are removed, disconnect the power connectors, and replace the damaged bulbs with new ones (same size and voltage).

Finally, refit the lamp onto the bodywork, screw in the screws, and reconnect the power connectors. Turn on the lights and test them.

What does the red or orange zig-zag warning light mean on the Dacia Sandero?

In this video, you will learn what the warning light depicting a red or orange zig-zag on the dashboard of the Dacia Sandero means. This is a multifunction warning light; if it appears red, it is a prompt to stop as soon as possible, switch off the engine, and exit the vehicle quickly, contacting a recovery service and the Dacia Dealer. If it lights up orange, it indicates an electronic fault in the vehicle; you can continue driving, but you must reach a Dacia service centre as soon as possible. If it lights up alongside the spanner symbol, it means it is time for a service, which is due every year or 10,000 miles (whichever comes first). The service is mandatory to maintain the warranty. If it lights up together with the tyre warning light, it indicates a loss of pressure in one of the tyres. You should check all the tyres as soon as possible to identify the source of the pressure loss. If it stays on with the engine warning light, it indicates a problem with the vehicle's emissions system; if it flashes, the issue may be a component of the engine, such as the spark plugs or coil, for example. On diesel versions, it may light up alongside the glow plug symbol, indicating a related issue. If it lights up with the ESP symbol, it means there is a fault in the system that needs checking.
