When the engine light appears on the instrument cluster of a Volkswagen Polo, it indicates that there are generic issues with the car's injection system. You can identify the cause of the problem by performing a diagnosis using an OBD scanner. This scanner should be connected to the OBD port located at the bottom left of the steering column. You can then perform the diagnosis to identify the problem and reset the error that causes the light to illuminate. This will allow you to disconnect the scanner and switch on the cluster to verify that the reset has been successful.
