EPC light

[banksy21]

so my EPC light has been coming on today putting the car in limp mode, if i turn the car off then turn it back on the EPC light goes away or sometimes the engine management light comes on with the EPC light. Ive done a scan with my ebay obd2 port scanner and it comes up with fault code P2138 this is on my mk2 leon cupra 2.0tfsi. has anyone got any clues? i've looked on rosstech and cant find nothing.

any help would be much appreciated

i have just been reading that, so does it mean a new throttle pedal?

Not a whole pedal, highly likely just the sensor on the pedal that you need!

Hi,

It might be worth just driving the car "properly". Giving it a few full throttle bursts -when warm of course. I had the exact same problem as you describe but it hasn't resurfaced ever since I've added a few of these into my drive.

I must add it only ever happened to me when I tried to drive it gently and save fuel lol .

Cheers,
Faz

This used to be a frequent occurrence on golf mk4 platform cars. Generally meant the brake switch was having issues, and you'd see problems like all the brake lights getting stuck on

i don't think they sell the sensor separate. do they?
