Engine management light, tyre pressure light and Esp light on!!

Post by Jmg_143 »

Please help!
I have a 2013 1.2 petrol vw polo with 61k miles on it!
Last week my engine light came on and then got followed up by the tyre pressure light and then esp light! The car feels low in power and stalls when coming to a stop! The mechanic replaced the Cam sensor but the lights are still on! Any ideas what this could be??

Ideally the first step would be to reduce the chance of confusion and get the car scanned using a scan tool that will decode all the VW Group fault codes.

Was it a VW specific workshop that looked at your car?

ESP along with Tyre pressure starts to suggest a wheel sensor is not giving out good data, but I'd also expect the ABS warning to be on - or maybe even a worn wheel bearing.

It is possible that your car has 2 separate problems at the moment, or when the cam sensor was replaced.

Edit:- dying, duff, lifed or under charged battery can also, it seems lead to some false faults being logged.

Have you been under using this car recently?
