Link between engine light and faulty stop/start function?
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2018 2:31 pm
Hi all,
I basically know nothing about cars so looking for some advice / help here! I have a 2014 Polo. A few months ago the engine light came on and I took it to the garage who did a diagnostic but found a "woolly" fault code. As the car was running normally, they switched the light off but it came back on the next day. I've been driving it with the light on for about 2-3 months now without any issues, however I realise this needs to get fixed! Today it has its annual service and the diagnostics showed another fault code. The STOP/START system has been inactivated / faulty continuously since the engine light came on.
Does anybody know what could be the problem and do you have any recommendations what I can do? Stating the obvious I'd like to avoid spending lots of money on this! Appreciate your thoughts and any ideas?
