Golf 7 triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle is a general fault indicator light, indicating that there is a fault in the car. For safety reasons, it is recommended to go for inspection and repair. The body dimensions of Golf 7 are 4259mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1452mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2637mm. Golf 7 is equipped with EA211 series 1.6L and 1.4T engines. Although the displacement remains the same as Golf 6, the power parameters of the two engines have changed. Among them, the 1.6L engine has a maximum power of 81 kW and a maximum torque of 155 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission.
Oh, I've been driving the Golf 7 for a while now, and that triangle warning light with an exclamation mark on the dashboard can really make you nervous. Usually, this light indicates that the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) has detected an issue, such as a tire leak or low pressure. If you ignore it and keep driving, the tire may wear out quickly or even blow out, which is extremely dangerous. I remember one time when the light came on just as I started driving. I got out and found a nail in the right front tire, so I quickly went to a roadside shop to get it inflated. The TPMS in the Golf 7 is quite sensitive; even significant changes in tire temperature can trigger the warning. It's a good habit to check the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Also, don’t forget to check the multifunction screen—it might display specific information. If the light stays on, it could also mean a bulb failure or system malfunction, so it’s best to have the sensors checked by a technician during regular maintenance.
