          Good morning I have two problems I have a polo 1.4 tdi 2007
          He turned on my error for the dpf filter, the error for the eger valve and the error for the heaters flashes non-stop, I tried the sonax liquid for cleaning the dpf filter and nothing has changed, the car still goes perfectly without any problems, starts everything normally, just pulls it all It burns and annoys me. I don't know another problem for you, but my polo consumes oil at some 2500-3000 km from maximum to minimum, is that normal for those effects or is it a problem?

    Polo 2005 1.2 petrol: the engine seems to "cut" when it falls below 1500 rpm. What's the matter?
