Hello,
I browsed but couldn't spot a similar question, so joined to ask some advice
I noticed last night that my Polo has a red light on the dashboard which seems to show that the backseat is down. The backseat is up and I can't see any problems with it. The red light is on even when the keys are not in the ignition. it looks as though the red light is slightly flickery and it is not very bright. I took a picture but am not sure how to upload it.
In case it is related, we have been having a problem with the car starting. When you turn the key, the dashboard lights come on no problem, but the engine doesn't start when you turn the ignition fully. The trick it to have it on the lights only setting for about 30seconds then turn off and back on and it works.
We thought it might be the battery so bought a battery charger. The battery was charged (with a recondition function) on Saturday.
Any ideas about whether it's all related? It is just about due a service.
Thank you for any advice!
