My father in law has a 2011 Polo 1.2. The wipers stopped working today and, after narrowing down the fuse to no 2 thanks to Google, changed the fuse. The wipers work again now but the EML has come on and won't go off.

The car is stating, running and driving fine but the light remains. They're proper white goods owners and loathe to spend two hundred on diagnostics, so does anyone have any ideas please? Thanks. smile

An OBD dongle and the Torque app on your mobile?

Looking like it. I did suggest they disconnect the battery for the night and see how it goes after a few drives out, as maybe randomly unplugging fuses (to 'borrow' one to test in the wiper fuse slot) could have tripped something. Unfortunately as I said they're not particularly car oriented and the bother factor is low so it's still as-is. I'll pop round tomorrow and see if they've made any headway, but since their last car was an 04 Corsa that didn't get a single service until the engine seized last year, after ten years of no new oil bar top ups, I doubt it's on the priority list... hehe
