Hello all,

I have tried seraching online and with this forums search tool but have not had any hits.

What lights should stay on just before starting the engine?

It's a 1.4 SE Polo 2000 (X reg), AKK engine.

E.g.

All the dashboard lights come up when I turn the key to just before starting the engine (airbag, EPC, etc) and then most go off execpt the battery light and the EPC (I know that this is an engine fault light and if I need to get the codes read I will). When I start the engine the EPC light and battery lights go off. Does this mean that there is a fault, but it is only at the pre-ignition stage? I can't remember if this is normal or not, I doubt it is?

The last three days my car idles erratically (if the head lights are on then they dim alot) unless I rev it slightly and then it settles down. Is it my alternator or Distributor?

I serviced my car yesterday as it needed doing (new plugs, oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter and ingjection cleaner) but it hasn't made a difference which to be honest I wasn't expecting it to.

Thank you for your help in advance.
