Weird Malfunction Indicator Lamps (MIL) suddenly started glowing in my VW Vento while I was driving from Salt Lake Sector 5 to my home in Beliaghata, Kolkata at 1.30 PM on Saturday 2021-11-13.
The malfunction lights appeared immediately after taking a U-Turn near Nicco Park.
It was only the ABS lights which had been glowing since the past 2+ years. Ever since the four fuel injectors were serviced on 2021-10-29, the car was running very smoothly without any abnormalities whatsoever.
The new additional lights which popped up on 2021-11-13 were those of the Airbag, Handbrake, Check Engine, Glow Plug, and Steering. Some abnormalities were also felt while pressing the brake. Although the Glow Plug light lit up for a short while, there was no drop in engine power/ RPM.
Before reaching home I had switched off the car at least four times for PUC testing, tyre pressure checking, refuelling, etc.
However, after reaching home at 3.00 pm and switching off the engine, the car could be started for barely about 3 seconds every time. About 5 - 6 attempts were made to start the car and keep it running without any success. The power window which was rolled down after reaching home, refused to roll up initially but started working once the car was manually pushed into the garage.
The odometer reading before locking up the car at 3.45 pm on 2021-11-13 was 44495.
