My Polo 2004 starts to lights one yellow led.. maybe it says I have to change the oil. Excuse me, how can I remove this alert by my own? Mhaxx Is it the orange light with an engine symbol? If so, you need to get the stored fault codes read with VAG-COM, a VW Dealer tool, or an ODB-II reader. |

Is it the orange light with an engine symbol?
It seems yellow to be honest.. I've already done the first control (30000 km) and now my car has about 45000 km.. I don't need what it need again.. maybe only the oil change.. If so, you need to get the stored fault codes read with VAG-COM, a VW Dealer tool, or an ODB-II reader. Sorry, could you explain in other words? Maybe have I to go to my car buyer to fix my machine? Someone told me you can remove this aler turning the key and at the same time pushing when you use to reset the partial km.. Mhaxx |

I don't need what it need again.. maybe only the oil change.. No, the oil change/service indicator says 'OEL' or 'Service Due', or at least does on most post 1996 VW's I've seen. Bear in mind though that I have never driven a 2004 Polo, and that I only know a limited range of UK-model cars. Do you have a manual? Does the light have an engine symbol in it? If so, it's a CEL (check engine light)- which indicates an engine management problem, maybe emissions. If so, you need to get the stored fault codes read with VAG-COM, a VW Dealer tool, or an ODB-II reader. Sorry, could you explain in other words? Maybe have I to go to my car buyer to fix my machine? If you know someone with VAG-COM (http://www.ross-tech.com), which is a PC software package, an ODB reader, or fancy a visit to the VW dealer and pay them to use their computer on it, one of those devices will read the engine control unit for stored fault codes, which should *help* tell you or the person using it what is wrong. Someone told me you can remove this aler turning the key and at the same time pushing when you use to reset the partial km.. No, that's close to the procedure to reset the service indicator though, unless I'm wrong about the light. |
