Engine misfiring
Problem:
The usual cause of the engine misfiring on the Arosa when the engine management warning light is off, is faulty spark plug leads. You may be noticing that the car is idling very erratically instead of at constant revs. The car may also be cutting out, especially when stopping at junctions. These are common symptoms of this problem.
Solution:
Having the spark plug leads changed should sort this issue out. Watch the video below to see how to change the spark plug leads:

Engine management warning light
Problem:
If your car is running OK and the engine management warning light has appeared on the dashboard, it is usually due to a faulty lambda sensor. This sensor is responsible for measuring the levels of oxygen and fuel mixture from the exhaust to the engine. If this part is the cause of the warning light, then you may notice a higher than usual fuel consumption.
Solution:
Fitting a replacement lambda sensor will fix the problem.

Headlight condensation
Problem:
A know issue on these vehicles is headlight condensation. This occurs due to the heat generated by the headlight bulb and is a particular problem on colder mornings.
Solution:
One solution to this issue is to drill small holes at the bottom of the headlight glass to let any water out. This will sort the problem and won't cost you anything.
