What is the INSP Light and How to Reset it in a Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo VI, Polo 6, MK 6, AW1, MK VI - Years 2017-2025
Part: Warning light – error code

The INSP light in a Volkswagen Polo is represented by a yellow spanner indicating that it is time for a service. Many wonder how to reset it, and here’s how to do it. You can either carry out the service to turn it off or reset it manually. With the ignition on, press the button located to the left of the dashboard. After about 5 seconds, all the lights will illuminate. Wait another 5 seconds, release it, and turn it to the right. The spanner symbol, i.e., the INSP symbol, will now disappear. Proceed by turning off the ignition, removing the key, and trying to start the car again.
