UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hello,
I have a 2012 petrol Polo 6R. Something strange has recently started happening.

When I’m manoeuvring at very low speeds, for example when parking (usually when I’m changing between first and reverse gear), several yellow warning lights come on at the same time on the dashboard.

Sometimes the engine stall; other times yellow lights they turn on and then disappear straight away.

Has anyone on this forum had this problem before? Any idea what it might be?

Thanks

It could be that your car's battery is very weak and some of the yellow lights that you are seeing are related to the power steering as that is the biggest electrical load in the car, and it is being asked to work hard while the engine is operating at low revs and so the alternator's output will be low and needs to be helped by the battery - which might just be not very healthy and so the electrical power to the power steering is getting disabled to allow the car to run.
