**update**

The mechanic that checked and quoted the parts below stopped replying to a couple texts but finally he rang to say that I had asked too many questions and that it wasn’t worth the money I was paying to do the work😅. He said he’d not reply and give me a time to call other mechanics and see that their prices are higher and then know that he’s prices were reasonable. I wasn’t even asking or cared about the prices - I had asked if the parts were new or second hand and if it came with a warranty and also if he’d done the pressure test that has been suggested.. the answer is no to all 🥲 he said it’s just my inexperience that’s making me ask these questions and that I wouldn’t usually ask if I went to a garage instead of a mobile mechanic (I would cause I just think it’s useful to know 😬) ahhhhh!!

So I’ve had four people check out my red engine oil light and no one is sure what the problem could be 😅🥲 (Halfords, garage I bought the car from, RAC and a mobile mechanic)

So we’ve concluded that:

- there is enough engine oil

- the oil quality appears good (I only bought the car in Nov so may do an interim service soon but these issues have been ongoing for 3-4 months)

- diagnostics found no faults

- I have had the sensors replaced and light still remains on

Mobile mechanic recommended doing an oil change and filter & flush but this is a guess and not sure if it will fix the problem (quoted £110 for aftermarket but good quality parts)

Any advice or next steps please would be appreciated!! VW Polo 2013

Separate issues but unrelated - The car also needs a new battery (£70) and supply and fit front spring (£130) so a costly month.

Is the car okay to drive in the meantime?! I feel like no but have been told it’s okay..

Hi everyone! Anyone have a link where can I buy vw polo red paint kit. Im planning to repair some scratches on my car. My location is Limerick Ireland. Any link from temu or ebay? Flashy red is the color im looking for. Thank you.

When the 2003 1.4 automatic VW Polo, that was purchased very recently, has just been started and is cold, when putting the car into reverse, initially it’s quite stiff and it clunks. After it’s warmed up after a few minutes, it goes into reverse smoothly and stops clunking. I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.

I have a vw polo 1.0 tsi 2018, and if I am at say 45mph in 3rd gear and accelerate, the car sometimes jerks before continuing as normal. What could this issue be?

Alrighty, so I’ve got a 2015 Polo TSI Auto. Recently had issues with the infotainment system and dash turning off completely while driving. Happened a few times, took it to the mechanic and they did a full diagnostic everything. Identified several faults with control module, windscreen wiper stalk and basically did a full trace of all wiring to check for water ingress etc. Replaced body control module, windscreen wiper stalk, new battery etc. Cost me a small fortune, but then they said hey it’s all good now, we can’t replicate the fault anymore.

Fast forward to present day, they’ve given it back to me and we have the same issue. What could this be?
