To understand the root causes of problems with a Volkswagen Polo car, which is more than 20 years old, you need to use a diagnostic cord, since most older cars do not have the self-diagnosis function of the system. This refers to older models produced before 1995, while after this year Volkswagen cars began to be produced with a self-test function.
In such cars, after each engine start, text information about errors is displayed on the screen. For example, an oil can icon indicates that the oil level has dropped below the required level.
What you need to do to perform diagnostics
First you need to get a diagnostic cord, and also install one of the specialized computer programs, for example VAG Tool or VAG K+CAN Commander. There are several varieties of such cords, and they have different interfaces.
You need to start from what connector is in the car, since some programs work exclusively with VAG COM 409.1 cords, while others can only work with HEX-USB+CAN. The required connector may be located next to the ignition coil or just below the control unit.
An approximate procedure looks like this:
- First you need to start the engine and leave it running for a few minutes. This is required for quality heating.
- Next you need to stop the engine, but you do not need to turn off the ignition.
- After connecting the diagnostic cord, the LED will begin to signal. Signals are presented as four-digit codes.
- When the 0000 signal is transmitted, this will mean that the tester can be disconnected.

Deciphering errors with a self-test function
The most common warnings that may appear on the Volkswagen Polo panel after testing may affect both general problems and problems with a specific unit. The following messages can be highlighted:
- If there is a SERVICE JETZT message, you need to carry out a technical inspection of the vehicle as soon as possible.
- When the vehicle automatically passes the mileage limit set in the system, the system will display the SERVICE message. This means that the inspection must be completed soon.
- Message STOP! BREMSENFEHLER BETRIEBSANLEITUNG! It indicates that there is an error in the brake system.
- Severe wear on the brake pads will cause the message BREMSBELAG PRUFEN to appear.
- STOP! KUHLMITTEL PRUFEN BETRIEBSANLEITUNG! – the fluid level in the cooling system has dropped below normal.
- Failures in the engine control system will cause the message MOTORSTORG WERKSTATT! to appear.
- When the reserve fuel remaining in the tank is used, BITTE TANKEN appears on the display.
The epc on the Volkswagen Polo 2022 caught fire
Good afternoon everyone, I don’t know if I created the topic correctly or not, but I have this grief, I bought a polo for a year, mileage 50 thousand, drove for 2 days, and then for the wrong reason the EPC light came on, the car didn’t stall, stopped, turned it off, started everything, went out.
Hello! I bought a Polo sedan last year. Today's mileage Less than a year has passed since I was driving to work this morning and the EPC light came on on the instrument panel.
Volkswagen Golf Club > TECHNICAL FORUMS BY MODELS > Golf Mk 6 & Plus > EPC came on. , While driving, the EPC (engine control fault) light came on for seconds.
Or maybe it wasn’t possible to check for errors after all. Alexey Polovod posted April 9 Yesterday, when I pressed the gas pedal in kick-down, the EPC light came on again, but the traction remained normal, after I turned off and started the car, the light went out and everything became normal. Where is the connection between EPC and ESP? ESP is not related to engine operation, it is related to the braking system and steering angle
Problems with sensors
If the car is equipped with electric power steering, then the presence of error code 00778 indicates that you need to check the wheel alignment of the front wheels, or adjust the sensor itself correctly. Complete failure of the wheel sensors displays code 01316.
Any sedan that has an anti-lock braking system is not immune to this problem. If the wires in the airbag sensor connector become oxidized, the program will display error B10001B. The problem can be solved by cleaning the contacts.
Wiring problems
If too much load is turned on on the car, error 00532 will appear. This often happens in tests. The problem is solved by restarting the engine followed by a partial reduction in load. Also, the indicated code may indicate that the battery or wiring is faulty. This can be treated by restoring the wiring or completely replacing the battery.
Those cars that have a high mileage may display errors 00588 - they confirm poor contact between the electrical wiring and the airbag. A general problem in the wiring is indicated by error U111300, which implies a limitation in the functionality of one of the system nodes.
Multi-zone climate control
The organization of a multi-zone operation scheme of the climate system makes it possible to maintain the required temperature parameters in different zones of the vehicle separately. Climate control Passat B3 Climatronic, installed on cars of the entire Volkswagen family, has the most common dual-zone layout, thanks to which the microclimate of the driver and front passenger may differ. Of course, since the cabin is an autonomous closed system, this difference cannot be very large. However, the difference exists and is maintained at approximately the same level using automation. In addition to 2-zone climate control, there are other options:
Note that in many cases, four-zone climate systems are redundant, since traveling in a completely filled car is a rarity. Most often, the driver travels alone or with one passenger. In this case, multi-zone climate control will consume more resources, making it not very cost-effective.
When to pay attention to the engine
There are codes that affect the engine and its performance. For example, previously an engine repair was required, due to which it was necessary to disassemble the gas distribution mechanism drive.
If the drive is assembled incorrectly, error 0016 is issued. When the camshaft adjuster valve is destroyed, the system issues error 0010. It is corrected by replacing the valve.
Cleaning the EGR system valve is required if error P0403 is present. Often, high mileage of a Volkswagen Polo car leads to the appearance of code P2002 - in this situation, you need to go to a car service center, where instructions on further actions will be given. Most often, such an error occurs when the particulate filter of one of the cylinder blocks wears out.
The cost of diagnosing errors for Ford at service stations in Moscow and St. Petersburg
Approximate prices for error diagnostics:
| City | Company name | Address | Phone number | Price |
| Moscow | North Motors | St. Dubninskaya, 83 | +7 | 2500 rub. |
| Silver elephant | St. Pyalovskaya, 7 | +7 | 3500 rub. | |
| Saint Petersburg | Automagic | St. Uchitelskaya, 23 | +7 | 2000 rub. |
| ClinliCar | Bolshoy Sampsonievsky Ave., 61k2 | +7 | 3000 rub. |
Problems with other car components
Some errors occur only under certain circumstances, for example, if the car has a DSG robotic gearbox, then if there are problems with the mechatronics, error P189C occurs. Also a signal for an immediate replacement of the mechatronics is error P17BF. If you tamper with the control unit, which contains information about the vehicle’s mileage, error 00476 is displayed.
In order for this error to stop appearing on the display, the system must be recoded. The presence of a modern audio system in a car does not mean that it is completely protected from interruptions - the output of error 00463 just means that you need to check the control unit of this system, as well as its wiring.
Climatronic control panel
Computerization of climate control is a significant step forward compared to conventional car air conditioning. The device control unit can be called the heart of such a climate system. Let's describe the climate control control panel of the Volkswagen Passat B3 (the designation of the climate control buttons for the Passat B6 and other later models may differ slightly). The fairly large Climatronic display has icons that display the following information:
Now let’s look at the Climatronic control buttons:
The manufacturer recommends keeping the air temperature at 20 – 22° C when the automatic mode is turned on. Among the features of the Passat B5 climate control, it should be noted that after the driver turns on the ignition, Climatronic immediately goes into automatic mode, guided by the previously set temperature indicators. If you disable automatic mode, the selected program will be stored in the device’s RAM for 60 minutes. If you turn off the ignition and turn it on again, the climate system will start in the same automatic mode.
The range of operating temperatures supported by Climatronic is 18 – 29 ° C. If limit values are selected, they are displayed on the display with the abbreviations “LO” and “HI” (for 18 and 29 degrees, respectively). The air conditioner operates in such modes with maximum cooling/heating, and the climate control does not regulate the temperature inside the cabin. If the car has been idle for a long time, when starting the power unit, air will be supplied for several minutes to the lower part of the cabin, to the foot area - to prevent the windows from fogging when unheated air is supplied.
When activating the Climatronic recirculation mode, it should be taken into account that if the temperature outside the car is less than +3° C, then after 30 seconds the recirculation mode will turn off and the climate system will switch to fresh air mode. It is recommended to turn off the climate control with the “OFF” button in exceptional cases (if problems arise in the operation of the system).
When to pay attention to the microclimate system
There are enough options for breakdowns of the microclimate system; accordingly, there are approximately the same number of different codes indicating errors. If there is a complete lack of communication with the compressor, error 382 is displayed. Failure of an electric motor or several motors will result in error 4F7-4F9.
When the sun sensor breaks down, the message 31D will appear on the display. Failure of the sensors in the central and foot air ducts will cause errors 510 and 511, respectively. If the temperature sensor in the panel fails, message 311 appears. When the temperature sensor in the car interior stops blowing, error 31C is displayed.
Almost the entire set of errors is listed in the following tables:
The check light on Volkswagen Polo sedan is the reason
Volkswagen Polo Sedan › Logbook › EPC and Check for tidy came on. The reason was the simplest at the temperature outside, yes, your damper is simpler! The Polo sedan has a Magnetti Marelli, it breaks down very often.
Club Volkswagen Polo sedan. The EPS goes off and the check light goes off for a moment and comes back on Click to expand.
Volkswagen POLO The check light is on. The owner of a Volkswagen POLO contacted the Pobeda specialized car service center. The “check” lights up for various reasons.
Is this made by VW or not? Replaced the valve and everything went away! Search titles only. Marelli, it’s a pity that they can’t be swapped, although it may be possible, but you need to know what signals from it go to the ECU, or if they exist at all, maybe it will be possible to swap another DZ with a CFNA motor. I look in the BZ, the throttle valve can’t come to an end -since there is nothing to break at all!
How to remove errors from the display
It all depends on how the car’s system errors are read. If errors are displayed on the dashboard when using built-in diagnostic methods for nodes, then only solving the problem itself will help. Accordingly, you cannot do without car repairs. For modern 16-pin connectors, there are even fewer problems, since all procedures are performed on a computer using software. In the case of old cars
Polo will have to tinker. First you need to turn off the ignition, while the tester must remain in the connector. Next, the tester contact closure button is pressed, and only then the ignition is turned on again. After five seconds, you can open the circuit and turn off the ignition. Almost all errors should be reset, unless you consider specific errors, such as lambda probe codes. They are not removed by this procedure.

ABS lamp Polo 1.4 9N3 is on
Dimon » May 13, 2022, 03:11
Dear Sirs! Today I removed the tidy to install the chrome rings, after I put it in place, the ABS system error lamp came on (when I start the car, the lamp goes out and appears again, it goes out after self-diagnosis). What are your thoughts on this and can you do something at home? You need to reset the error through the diagnostic connector. If the latter, then where is it better to turn (except “Alex”)

There's food and information together. Most likely the controller remembered the connector reset as an error. There are three methods to eliminate this. For computer diagnostics, but probably only to the dealer. You already have a CAN bus and the necessary diagnostic programs of the latest versions.
but they cost a lot of money and not everyone has them. Older versions can only read the engine. If the car is under warranty, then there should be no problems, just don’t say that you removed the panel. Second method. remove the battery terminal for 15-20 minutes.
Then the controller should reset completely and return to the basic factory settings. Both the ABS and the engine will be reset. The car will change. It will be necessary to drive 15-20 km in lower modes for the controller to adapt to the driver. Third method on. ignition (without starting the engine) for 15 seconds. and exclude. and so on three times.
Then the controller is also reset, but this may not work on the CAN bus. You can try.
I would recommend the first method
